Western's Computer Science program focuses on exploring software design and analysis methods across diverse applications, while also examining computer internals like architecture and operating systems.
Mathematics fundamentally studies patterns and structures. Rather than examining physical matter, it deals with numerical concepts, probabilities, forms, computational methods, and transformations. As a discipline centered on abstract concepts, Mathematics establishes truth through logical reasoning rather than empirical observation, though it may use experimental approaches to uncover insights.
