MATH/STATISTICS COFFEE TIME: The Overlap of Math and Computer Science

  
The Department of Mathematics & Statistics will hold its second Coffee Time talk of the year with Dr. Sheri McGuffin, who will present "The Overlap of Math and Computer Science: Preparing Students for Twenty-First Century STEM Careers."

You've likely heard someone described as "a jack of all trades but master of none," but the original saying was actually intended as a compliment: "a jack of all trades is a master of none, but is oftentimes better than a master of one." Preparing higher education students for 21st century STEM careers often involves preparing them in multiple disciplines, so universities have begun offering STEM majors that combine subjects with less content depth and coverage but more content breadth and versatility. This talk discusses the math/cs overlap and implications in preparing students for future careers.
