Computer Science & Mathematics
The University of Maine at Farmington’s Computer Science and Mathematics area primarily encompasses the majors: Computer Science, Mathematics, and Secondary Education - Mathematics. But students in all UMF academic areas — The Arts, Business & Administration, Education, English & Humanities, Health & Human Services, the Sciences, and Social Sciences, will use mathematics and computer skills in their college studies and beyond.

Courses on computer architecture and hardware, data base systems, networking, computer languages, algorithm design and analysis, and computer graphics are put to use as you design independent study projects, pursue internships, or take advantage of on-campus work opportunities, such as working in the campus computer labs.

Farmington students apply their expertise in Computer Science and Mathematics in a number of ways.

Some recently presented their own research on a number of interesting topics such as: Exploration of Real-World Applications of Combinatorics and Graph Theory, Darwinian Cumulative Selection: Identifying the Probabilities, Computer Animation, A Variety of Learning Applications, Using Flash, Geodesic Geometry, Cryptography & Cryptanalysis, Overclocking: Push Your PC to the Edge, Database Mining and its Impact on Marketing, Mathematical Games and Puzzles, and more.

Our Computer Science graduates find work as software developers, data base specialists, network administrators, computer facility managers, and more. Others have successfully gone on to graduate school.

Our Mathematics program is designed to prepare students for graduate study or a career in a mathematical field. The Secondary Education areas prepare students to become Math teachers at the middle school, junior high school and high school level.
