Abstract
No one escape the learning of mathematics in one way or other, ranging from our kitchen to our journey from earth to Moon or Mars. Mathematics persists everywhere around us. It can be perceived in our garden or park from symmetry of leaves, flowers, fruits etc. and by so many examples of Geometry and symmetry can be seen in nature. God used mathematics in creation of the universe in one form or the other. Likewise, Mathematics is the queen of all sciences. Scientists and researchers can not perfectly accomplish their work without including mathematics. Mathematics is the foundation of Computer Science. If one is eager to learn any arena of Computer Science, first he/she has to imbibe a love of Mathematics that will be supportive for progressive learning of the said subject. Mathematics is friendly for analytical skills needed in Computer Science. Concepts of binary number system, Boolean algebra, Calculus, Discrete mathematics, linear algebra, number theory, and graph theory are the most applicable to the subject of computer science with the emergence of new concepts like machine learning, artificial intelligence, virtual reality and augmented reality.
