Is bioinformatics applied for mathematics?
Bioinformatics is one of the disciplines of biology, which considers the use of computers to solve biological problems. Bioinformatics uses the methods of Applied Mathematics, Statistics and Informatics. Research in computational biology often intersects with systems biology.
What is computational and mathematical biology?
The minor in Computational and Mathematical Biology, housed in the Biology Department, provides students with interdisciplinary training to address biological questions using tools and concepts from computer science, mathematics and/or statistics.
Is it possible to double major in Applied Math and statistics?
The takeaway is this: if you can somehow double-major in applied math and stats (as others here have suggested) with a concentration in computer science, you should be hot to trot when you land on the job market. I don’t see the current obsession with “big data,” and people who are facile with statistically analyzing data, going away anytime soon.
Should I major in math or computer science in college?
Many schools have a CS bachelors degree with a math/science emphasis that, once you’ve taken the required math courses for the CS degree, will leave you only a few courses away from the double major in math. If your eventual goal is to study computer science, then I think you should study computer science in college.
Is there a lot of computation in Applied Math programs?
It’s not easy to answer, because the programs at different universities may contain very different material. My Masters was in Applied Math at University of Arizona. That program incorporated some computation in several courses, but most of the curriculum at least in the 90s was focused on pen and paper solutions to PDEs, not computation.
Should I go for CS or maths?
You need to have really good IQ to survive in Math related careers. CS offers more applied careers than math would. This gives you chocie which is a nice thing. Remember that what you like today is not necessarily the same things you will like 4, 10 or 20 years from now for CS. Mature universities have figured what is needed.
