Course Integration

These two courses are designed to complement each other:

  • Programming concepts from CS 5001 provide concrete examples for mathematical abstractions in CS 5002
  • Mathematical thinking from CS 5002 builds logical reasoning skills essential for programming
  • Joint exercises reinforce connections between mathematical concepts and their computational applications
