What You’ll Learn
This four-year Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) program is taught at ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV’s Burnaby campus. Learn the theory and practice of using computational power to solve problems in almost any area of modern life. Students will tackle the problems commonly arising in numerical analysis and scientific computing and the basic methods for their solutions.
Below are some core topics and themes explored in this program:
Data Structures & Analysis
Design and analyze of efficient data structures and algorithms. Learn general techniques for building and analyzing algorithmsn through studying data structures, algorithms, and algorithmic techniques.
Modelling & Simulation
Modelling of real-life systems as Markov chains. Students cover combinatorial objects and probability functions, which have real-world applications such as chemical kinetics, infectious diseases, and statistical physics.
Data Communications
An introduction to concepts, principles, and technologies for communication networks. Students learn about network architectures for local and wide areas, ISO protocols and internetworking, and performance analysis.
