Students earn college credit while exploring the mathematical foundations of computer science with an emphasis on rigorous reasoning.
The Boston University Computer Science: Combinatoric Structures program is a pre-college course designed for high school students to delve into the mathematical foundations of computer science. Students will explore core concepts such as logic, counting principles, set theory, and relations. The curriculum emphasizes rigorous reasoning and the manipulation of basic combinatoric structures used in computer science. Through a combination of lectures, interactive examples, and complex problem sets, participants will develop critical thinking and quantitative reasoning skills. The course aims to equip students with the ability to make convincing logical arguments about the correctness and efficiency of programs and algorithms. This program offers college credit upon successful completion.
A typical day for an online session might include a live class meeting in the late afternoon/early evening, followed by dedicated time for independent learning through readings, mini-lecture videos, interactive examples, and complex problem sets.
This course is ideal for high school students looking to expand their knowledge in combinatorics and its diverse uses in various fields, particularly those interested in the mathematical foundations of computer science and rigorous problem-solving.
