Mathmatics and Computer Information Systems

Mathematics

Mary Goetting, Ph.D., Chair


Mathematics is the study of logical systems that describe the properties and interactions of concepts such as numbers, sets, lines, functions, and relations. It is the abstract system used to study the universe, organize thought, and solve problems. This means that mathematics is a gift from God to be used in the search for truth.

Computer Science

Computer science is the study of how to make computers do what people do. We want them to carry out these processes faster, more reliably, and more economically. To achieve this we find ways to describe and control processes and organize the information that they yield. For this reason, computer science involves more than writing code. It includes the study of algorithms, data structures, languages, operating systems, and hardware.

At Concordia we strive to not only teach you the necessary theory but also to strengthen your analytical, problem solving, and communication skills. Our graduates find creative solutions to problems and many move on to graduate school. They have integrity and can be entrusted with access to confidential information and with the education of the next generation. Their compassion for others shows in the care they take in producing and supporting products that meet the needs of those who use their systems.
