现在，计算已成为我们日常生活以及科学和工程学中无处不在的，无处不在的。“计算机科学”选项为学生提供了计算的数学和算法基础的坚实基础，为计算机科学的各个子领域提供了前沿研究，并为他们做好了将计算思想应用于计算机科学中各种应用的准备。本科计算机科学选修课向学生介绍了该学科的数学和工程基础。它在课程选择方面提供了相当大的灵活性，此外还有一个成功的项目，使学生有机会在自己选择的领域进行独立工作。一组核心课程为学生提供了编程原理，算法和复杂性以及计算系统的坚实基础。围绕几个方向组织了其他高级课程，在这些方向上，您可
The Computer Science option gives students a strong grounding in the mathematical and algorithmic foundations of computing, provides an introduction to cutting-edge research in a variety of subfields of Computer Science, and prepares them to apply computational thinking to a diversity of applications in Computer Science and beyond. Our students and faculty strive to: 1) understand information and computation as intrinsic components of a broad array of natural and engineered systems, 2) tackle challenging and fundamental problems with the potential for long-term and real-world impact, 3) develop underlying theory, and 4) nurture collaboration between traditionally separate disciplines. Additional advanced coursework is organized around several tracks in which greater depth is obtained in topic areas such as Physical Implementation of Computations, Robust Modeling of Physical Systems, Systematic Design, Theory, Networks & Distributed Systems, Machine Learning, and Interdisciplinary Research. Students can also pursue computer science as a minor at Caltech.
