Themathematician’s patterns, like the painter’s or the poet’s,must be beautiful; theideas,likethecoloursorthewords,must ittogetherinaharmoniousway.Beautyistheirsttest:thereisnopermanentplaceintheworldforuglymathematics.—G.H.Hardy

Why Mathema cs?

M athema cs, as a study of pa erns—both prac cal and abstract—involves analy cal thought,

logical reasoning, problem solving skills, and precise communica on. Because of its power and

versa lity, mathema cs has been crowned “Queen of the Sciences.” There is no field of scien fic inquiry

that does not express itself through the language of mathema cs. The kinds of analy cs and logical

thinking skills that one develops while studying mathema cs are precisely the skills that recruiters look

for in poten al employees. Jobs involving significant mathema cal background also consistently rank

near the top of the list in annual career surveys. In CareerCast.com's 2016 rankings of the 200 best jobs,

among the top ten were: (#1) Data Scien st, (#2) Sta s cian, (#6) Mathema cian, and (#10) Actuary.

Other highly-ranked jobs requiring a large amount of mathema cal background included So ware

Engineer (#7), Computer Systems Analyst (#8), Biomedical Engineer (#14), Financial Analyst (#27),

Economist (#24), Petroleum Engineer (#20), Meteorologist (#16), Physicist (#21), Pharmacist (#29), and

Accountant (#33). Other careers that depend deeply on mathema cs:

An undergraduate degree in mathema cs provides an excellent founda on for those interested in

pursuing advanced degrees in mathema cs or other more specialized professions, some of which are

listed above. Mathema cs is also an outstanding pre-professional degree for students considering allied

fields such as law, business administra on, and medicine.

Mathema cs at DePaul

Student Resources, Ac vi es & Organiza ons

Mathema cs Tutoring & Computer Labs

The department maintains two separate mathema cs tutoring labs, one on each main campus, to offer free tutoring to undergraduates enrolled in a math class. On the Lincoln Park Campus the lab is located in SAC 521, in the heart of the Department of Mathema cal Sciences. Tutoring is generally available on certain weekend days in O’Connell 300. In the Loop, the tutoring lab is in Lewis Hall #1662. On both campuses, students can come on a drop-in basis during the regular school year, any week of classes except finals week. There they can get tutoring from math students who are o en mathema cs majors. The Lab schedules are generally posted online and outside the door, and at go.depaul.edu/math. These spaces also make compu ng available through a limited number of networked PCs. In addi on, the PC labs in O’Connell 300 (LPC) are generally available for student use when classes are not taking place there.

The website listed above also has extensive and current informa on on tutoring and prac ce materials, as well as announcements of current departmental events.

Student Employment—Tutoring & Grading

The Mathema cs Labs listed above offer opportuni es for students to engage in tutoring their fellow students as paid lab tutors.

There is also the opportunity for students who have completed Calculus to grade homework for various lower- and upper-level mathema cs courses. Students are paid to work with faculty members to evalu-ate the homework papers their classes.

For more informa on or to sign up for either math tutoring or grading, please contact Nydia Rodriguez ([email protected], 773-325-4878).

Internships

Students enrolled in the Actuarial Science, Sta s cs, or Financial Mathema cs concentra ons are hear ly encouraged to par cipate in the department’s internship program, which facilitates internships at many local well-known companies such as Allstate, North American, Blue Cross Blue Shield, CNA, Capital One, and Zurich. Internship fairs are held periodically which give students an opportunity to meet with repre-senta ve of these and other companies, and explore the possibili es for corporate internships.

Interested students should contact Desale Habtzghi ([email protected], 773.325.4054), or the Career Center (careercenter.depaul.edu, DPC: 312.362.8437, LPC: 773.325.7431).

Student Research

The faculty view research as an integral part of academic prepara on at both the graduate and under-graduate levels. Consequently many on-campus research opportuni es are provided for students. Re-search projects vary in nature and scope, and o en take place during the summer and carry significant amounts of financial support. In the past, students have par cipated in research that has led to presen-ta ons at conferences and even publica ons in professional journals.

Further ques ons about student research should be sent to [email protected]. You may also explore research opportuni es by either calling 773-325-8490 or emailing [email protected].

Advising

When you declare a major in Mathema cs (no ma er the concentra on), you should then contact the Department Chair, Dr. Ahmed I. Zayed, at (773) 325-7808 or at [email protected], so that a depart-ment faculty member can be assigned as your academic advisor. If you do not know who your advisor is, check Campus Connect (campusconnect.depaul.edu). It is recommended that mathema cs majors meet with a mathema cs advisor at least twice a year.

Putnam Compe on

The William Lowell Putnam Mathema cal Compe on is a highly pres gious (and legendarily difficult) mathema cs examina on administered each year by the Mathema cal Associa on of America. The department holds an ongoing series of coaching sessions to help students prepare for the exam, and each year fields a team to represent DePaul.

B.S. Mathema cs & Computer Science Overview

The B.S. in Math and Computer Science is a joint degree between the College of Compu ng and Digital Media and the Department of Mathema cs. It provides challenging opportuni es to excep onal stu-dents with an interest in the highly theore cal nexus of math and computer science. Mathema cs is a key element to the theory and prac ce of computer science and technology:

Number theory forms the basis for encryp on algorithms for messages sent over the Internet.

Facts from projec ve geometry and mul variable calculus underlie the computer algorithms that control computer anima on.

Proper es of abstract groups are instrumental in correc ng transmission errors that occur when informa on is sent from one computer to another.

Graph theory and combinatorics are used to create algorithms for Internet search engines and analyze Internet rou ng protocols.

This program is intended to appeal to academically talented students. It is designed to prepare them for graduate study in various areas of computer science such as theore cal computer science, graphics, data analysis, ar ficial intelligence, and computa onal methods and in areas in applied mathema cs such as numerical analysis or discrete mathema cs. The program is also designed to prepare students to compete for the more theore cal complex jobs found in computer so ware development.

Students in the program will explore a broad range of fields including:

Theory of computa on

Computa onal mathema cs

Ar ficial intelligence

Data analysis

Graphics

Computer vision

It is highly recommended that students concentrate on one or two areas for their advanced classes to achieve depth, but they are not required to do so. Faculty advisors are available to assist students in their selec on.

B.S. Mathema cs & Computer Science Advising Guide

Addi onal Course informa on

CSC 241/242 sequence: The intro programming sequence (CSC 241/CSC 242) should be taken by Math

-CS majors in the freshman year, i.e. as soon as possible. Incoming freshmen must make sure to take CSC 241 by the winter quarter; otherwise they will need to wait a full year to start their programming sequence. Students who have previous programming should not be placed into CSC 242, see next item on CSC 243.

CSC 243 vs CSC 241/242: Students who have previous programming experience, but not the equiva-

lent of two quarters of programming, should be placed into CSC 243, which combines the material of CSC 241/242 into a single quarter, but assumes that the students have previous programming experi-ence. Students with extensive previous programming experience should have CSC 241/242 replaced by other courses, and be placed into CSC 300, the first Java/Data Structures course.

MAT 130 and CSC 241: MAT130 is a prerequisite for CSC241. Students who place into MAT130 must take MAT130 in the fall so that they can start the programming sequence in the winter. However, the first course in the calculus sequence may not start in winter quarter, so students needing prerequisite math courses may need to delay the start of calculus un l year 2. Because of the number of advanced math courses required in this degree, this may prolong the comple on of the degree unless courses are made up over the summer.

MAT 140/141 vs MAT 215: If a student took MAT 215, this should be applied to MAT 140, but the stu-

dent should s ll take MAT 141.

So ware & Hardware Recommenda ons

Following are the same recommenda ons given to BS-CS students:

The CS and SE programs are designed to be pla orm independent so a Window, Linux, or Mac machine will do. It is helpful

for CS students to own a computer, and the likely choice is a laptop. One thing freshmen should keep in mind is that cheap-

er, low end machines may not be powerful enough to run the so ware built 4 years from now when they are seniors. They

also tend to be less stable. So a machine that is mid-level to high-end is preferable.
