DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS AND COMPUTER SCIENCE

The Department offers a full range of undergraduate mathematics and computer science courses, both for its majors and for service to almost every other University department. The Department also provides graduate courses in mathematics and in computer science for its own graduate programs, for majors in other UMES graduate programs and for eligible members of the local community. The Department has a Sun Lab consisting of Ultra 10 workstations and a Sun Enterprise 450 server; a Beowulf System consisting of Intel Pentium III 450 MHz computer interconnected to a 3Com superstack switch that allows for parallel processing; three Computer Laboratories consisting of high-end Pentium computers. Users have access to a wide variety of MS-DOS/Windows and UNIX type microcomputers plus special purpose facilities for graphics and parallel processing. These computer facilities and several other campus wide computer facilities are available for students.
