2- INTRODUCTION
Mathematics is the language of modern science, technology, engineering and finance, an art form and a tool of tremendous power. It is a language that is both beautiful and fascinating in its own right. Mathematics is an essential element in a wide range of human activities. Its role in the physical and engineering sciences has been traditional for more than two centuries. In the social and biological sciences it plays an increasingly important role in modeling complicated, large scale phenomena. It is an essential tool for computer science as well as all technology. Applied mathematicians use equations and computer simulations to design computer chips, study global climate change and study genetic engineering
Today more mathematics is being done, and more needs to be done, than ever before. The mathematics needed for 21st century science has not yet been discovered.

9.2 Computer science & statistics Programme Structure
This computer science & statistics programme is designed for devoted mathematicians who also want to become skilled in modern day computing and information systems. You will gain the techniques needed to develop a mathematical and statistical knowledge and will understand how these can be applied to the formulation and solution of problems from computing, business and other areas. The advanced computing courses include databases, operating systems and the construction of windows applications in studio.net programs are included in this programme.
The computer science and statistics programme gives students a foundation in all branches of mathematics, statistics for example algebra, analysis, statistics, geometry, probability and mathematical methods. The computer science element is designed to provide an efficient and well-balanced introduction to the whole practical field, and therefore includes topics in programming and computer systems.
This programme is intended for students who wish to study both Computer Science and Statistics, and is particularly suited for those who wish to study both subjects besides the basics of Mathematics. Mathematics and Computer Science have a long history of feeding off of each other, from the early work of Babbage in the 19th Century, through to turing in the mid 20th Century through to today. In today's world the combined use of mathematical techniques and computation underpins much of today's society. For example in analysing large corporate databases to understand consumer behaviour or in performing credit scoring one needs advanced statistical tools plus advanced computational tools. As another the design of cars, aircraft or the prediction of complex systems such as the weather requires a significant modelling aspect which is now done with computer simulations which encode complex mathematical formulae. Even the realistic presentation of movement in a computer game is made possible by the merging of mathematical models and computer simulation.
The computer science & statistics programme have a common structure during the first and the second year to mathematics programme. In the third and fourth years students study different topic more related to statistics, probability and computer science besides some higher courses in mathematics. This program is flexible educational pathways emphasizing the theoretical, practical, or computational aspects of probability and statistics. The program serves the needs of future statisticians in science, industry, business, and government, as well as provides the necessary background in computer science and stimulation for post graduate study.

The typesetting languages TeX and LaTeX are available to students, and various graphics packages and programming compilers etc. are accessible from these labs.
Staff and postgraduate facilities
Software on staff machines includes that outlined for teaching machines, as well as specialist software for individual members of staff. TeX, LaTeX and MS Office 2003 are used as the standard mathematical typesetting packages, Maple and Fortran are widely used within the department. The Mathematics Department aims to become largely self sufficient in its computing requirements, e.g. email, Internet web pages, scientific computing.
Internet
The Mathematics Department WWW pages went on line in 2001. These contain detailed up-to-date information regarding staff, undergraduate, postgraduate and research information. Forthcoming conferences and other events are also advertised. In particular, recent publications, pre-prints will be available over the Internet in the near future. The web pages may be browsed on
http://www.mans.edu.eg/facscim/MathDept/
or through the University Home Pages ( http://www.mans.edu.eg. )
Computer Labs
Library
The Mathematics library is housed on the fourth floor in the new building. Regulations are displayed governing the use of the Library and the borrowing of books and journals. In particular, all books and journals must be returned by the due date, when checks take place. This does not of course mean you are entitled to keep anything borrowed until that time, as the usual restrictions apply.
