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.
