Why Math Readiness Matters in Computing and Daily Life!
Mathematics forms the core foundation of computing and plays a critical role in everyday life in today’s modern society. Strong mathematical skills support essential tasks such as financial planning, budgeting, logical reasoning, and the effective use of modern computing technologies. Unlike many skills that can be acquired quickly, mathematical proficiency is developed through sustained practice over many years.
The Department of Computer Science & IT offers several Bachelor of Science degree programs in computing-related fields. Our program educational objectives emphasize preparing graduates to contribute meaningfully to the intellectual, social, and economic development of the state of Tennessee and the surrounding region.
Achieving these goals requires students to enter our programs with a solid level of mathematical readiness. One of the most effective ways to build that foundation is to nurture students’ interest in mathematics from an early age. To support this mission, we proudly promote and recognize the mathematical achievements of middle and high school students through competitions and celebratory events. These opportunities help inspire the next generation of learners and strengthen the pipeline of future computing professionals.
