Artificial intelligence, big data, brain like computing, Internet of Things ... These high-sounding words are all related to computers, which also attracted many people's attention and chose computer-related majors. At present, computer science and technology, Internet of Things engineering, cyberspace security, software engineering and other computer majors offered in Chinese universities are both overlapping and focused. My major in computer science and technology is a "basic" major with strong adaptability and wide development direction: when you play various apps with your mobile phone, you use ps technology to adjust the original gloomy picture beautifully ... These magical functions need to be developed and upgraded by computer science and technology professionals.

Mathematical knowledge is indispensable.

Computer science and technology majors, as the name implies, focus on learning computer working principles, programming methods and mathematical foundations. The corresponding professional courses include digital logic, assembly language, computer composition principle, microcomputer system and interface, operating system, compilation principle, advanced programming language, linear algebra, calculus, discrete mathematics and so on. The main purpose of studying these courses is to help students understand the composition and operation of the computer-how the bottom 0 1 string flows and transforms in the hardware, and finally produces the effect that users see. Learning these specialized courses well is based on mathematical knowledge. For example, the two core elements of a development program are algorithms and data structures. A teacher once said to us: "The in-depth research in the field of computer is based on mathematical theorems. We must attach importance to the study of mathematics courses in undergraduate stage to ensure that our understanding is unambiguous. If you use engineering ideas to do research, the results may have application value, but they are not strict and clear. "

In addition to professional compulsory courses, you can choose many interesting professional elective courses for studying computer science and technology, such as Python programming, Unix operating system and so on.

Improve skills from practice

The biggest feature of computer science and technology specialty is its strong practicality. For example, you can write many interesting programs just by learning a computer language; Learning an algorithm can be used in practice. In addition to the code that requires high computer performance, it needs to be completed in the laboratory, and the general code can be run on your own laptop. Therefore, the sense of accomplishment brought by this major is relatively great. In the process of practice, I can recognize my own shortcomings and correct them in time, and constantly improve my own procedures.

It is a very interesting process to accumulate experience and develop programs. If you try to ask someone such a question: "a basket of eggs, one after another, has just been eaten;" Take two, and there is one left; Three against three, just finished; Four against four, one left; Five to five, missing one; Six takes six, leaving three; Seven, seven, just finished; Take eight from eight, and there is one left; Nine, nine, just finished eating. How many eggs are there at least in the basket? "People who hear the question may have a blank face, and their fingers may be broken and they are still counting over and over again, but if we ask the computer a question in just a few lines of code, we can get the answer within 3 seconds.

Nowadays, we are inseparable from mobile phones and computers in the information age, and computer science and technology is undoubtedly the "brain" of this era. Want to enter the high-end platform? Tencent, Baidu, Alibaba ... these outstanding enterprises are waving to you; Want to make a lot of money? Cheng Xuyuan, a high-paying career, is waiting for you; Want to continue your studies?
