History
The Bachelor of Science Program in Applied Mathematics (App-Maths) was established in 1989 and revised every five years to be modern, consistent, and relevant to current and future conditions. In 2017, the App-Maths program, the Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs), was mainly based on the Thai Qualifications Framework for Higher Education (TQF: Hed). Subsequently, the ELOs are presented in five domains: (1) morals and ethics, (2) knowledge, (3) intellectual skills, (4) interpersonal skills and responsibility skills, and (5) numerically analytical, communication, and information technology, as shown in Table 1.
In the 2021 revision, the program’s name was changed to Mathematics and Computer Science (MCS), which aims to produce graduates with knowledge in mathematics, statistics, and computer science. To integrate knowledge from all three sciences to apply to solve environmental problems, problems of natural disasters, and unrest in the southern border provinces, as well as create innovations for the sustained development of organizations, communities, and society in the South. The program produces graduates according to the progressivism approach, which is to develop students in every aspect so that they are ready to live happily in society and adapt well to changing situations. Various methods of learning, including problem-based learning and project-based learning, have been implemented in the classroom and the workplace. The learner will be developed through the problem-solving process and self-learning. Develop communication skills, select appropriate technologies, and prepare students to graduate with morality, ethics, honesty, discipline, and competence to follow social norms.

Why study applied mathematics and computer science?
Everything around us involves “mathematics.” Mathematicians are thinkers, analysts, forecasters, and planners. Examples of what students will develop their potential when studying Applied Mathematics at the Faculty of Science and Technology, Prince of Songkla University (depending on specific interests) :
Mathematics and weather forecasting and natural disaster monitoring
Forecasting future events or phenomena requires the application of mathematical and statistical data and knowledge to analyze possible trends in order to predict phenomena that may occur in the future. For example, weather forecasting requires statistical data and reading aerial photographs and using knowledge of computer science to develop programs for spatial display.
Mathematics and Computer Science and Information Technology
Mathematics is the foundation of computer science and information science, which collects and analyzes data. It requires computers to help in thinking and calculating, resulting in data in various forms, including numbers, letters, sounds, still images, and motion pictures. Computer science is a direct result of mathematics. All current career fields require the use of computers.
Mathematics and statistical modeling and data visualization
Mathematics leads to statistical modeling and data science, which involves data collection, data management, modeling or simulation to predict or explain various phenomena of data for decision-making, and designing and displaying data in various formats to present such data, such as graphs, spatial displays, etc.
Mathematics and Architecture and Engineering
Architecture and engineering require mathematical knowledge to help design buildings, such as measuring light, humidity, and shade; calculating angles of various parts; and helping to make construction more accurate. Calculating weight bearing, helping to make the building more stable. Calculating the use of construction materials and equipment, helping to estimate construction costs, etc.
