applications of mathematics in computer science
APPLICATION OF MATHEMATICS IN COMPUTER SCIENCE:
Math and computer science influence each other. The applications of
mathematics in computer science are:
LOGIC PROGRAMS:
Most of the logic programs in logical programing has its roots in math.
For example "python" has its module named math which perform all the
mathematical operations like factorial, logarithm, exponential, sine,
cosine, tangent etc.
BINARY NUMBERS COMES FROM BOOLEAN ALGEBRA:
Basics of computers "BINARY NUMBERS" also have their base in math. The
binary digit "0" for "no current flow"and "1" for "current flow" comes
from "BOOLEAN ALGEBRA".
The logical operators like and, or, not, ex-or etc are also taken from
BOOLEAN ALGEBRA.
DISCRETE MATHEMATICS:
The branch of mathematics "DISCRETE MATHEMATICS" used for the
development of computer which operates i discrete steps.
COMPUTER GRAPHICS:
The application of mathematics is most clear in "COMPUTER GRAPHICS"
because of the heavy use of "LINEAR ALGEBRA" in rendering and ray
tracing.
COMPUTER MATHEMATICS:
The branch of mathematics "COMPUTER MATHEMATICS" deals with the problems
that are solved by computers.
It has three branches.
First is connected with the use of computer in areas involving of
scientific and practical activities.
The second branch deals with working out techniques and algorithm.
Third branch deals with the problems involving man-computer interaction
and including theory and practice of programming problems of computers
and automation of programming problem.
OTHER USES OF MATHEMATICS ON COMPUTER SCIENCE:
The matrix algebra
3-d geometry
Graph theory
These are also very useful in many computer applications.
