Mathematics and Computing (M&C) is a branch offered at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi and is quite similar to the CSE branch in the sense that both focus on the study of computer science and technology. However, it’s important to note that M&C is more inclined towards mathematics and its applications in computing, while CSE focuses more on the engineering aspects of computer science.
Both branches offer similar courses in programming, algorithms, data structures, and software development, but M&C additionally covers math-oriented topics like Differential Equations, Number Theory, Linear Optimization, Algebra, Calculus, etc.
There are a number of courses like Discrete Mathematical Structures taught at both departments but separately by professors of the respective departments.
Both branches are the most coveted branches and all companies opening job profiles for one branch offer the same to the other branch because of the similar nature of the branches.
