The mathematical sciences are part of nearly all aspects of everyday life. The discipline has underpinned such beneficial modern capabilities as internet searching, medical imaging, computer animation, weather prediction, and all types of digital communications. Mathematics is an essential component of computer science. Without it, you would find it challenging to make sense of abstract language, algorithms, data structures, or differential equations, all of which are necessary to fully appreciate how computers work. In a sense, computer science is just another field of mathematics. It does incorporate various other fields of mathematics, but then focuses those other fields on their use in computer science. Mathematics matters for computer science because it teaches readers how to use abstract language, work with algorithms, self-analyze their computational thinking, and accurately model real-world solutions. Algebra is used in computer programming to develop algorithms and software for working with math functions. It is also involved in design programs for numerical programs. Statistics is a field of math that deploys quantified models, representations, and synopses to conclude from data sets.

This book focuses on mathematics, computer science, and where the two intersect, including heir concepts and applications. It also represents how to apply mathematical models in various areas with case studies. The contents include 29 peer-reviewed papers, selected by the editorial team.
