CMS Packages and Worksheets

Chemistry is the study of matter and the changes it undergoes. It can be applied to make stronger metals, improve soil, and destroy bacteria. It's also made possible the development of substances such as rubber, nylon and plastics from other, completely different materials.

Environmental Sciences is the application of scientific knowledge from many disciplines to issues and questions relating to the increase in human population, the sustainability of resource use, degradation caused by pollution and disturbance, and the endangerment and extinction of species and natural systems.

Physics deals with matter and energy and the interactions between the two. It allows us to understand phenomena that take place around us and in the universe. Physical laws help us perceive our world. Some physicists use these principles in theoretical areas, such as the nature of time and the origin of the universe. Others develop advanced materials, electronic and optical devices, and medical equipment.

Astronomy is the study of celestial objects (such as moons, planets, stars, nebulae and galaxies), the physics, chemistry, mathematics, and evolution of such objects, and phenomena that originate outside the atmosphere of Earth, including supernovae explosions, gamma ray bursts and cosmic background radiation. A related but distinct subject, cosmology, is concerned with studying the universe as a whole.

Computer science deals with using and improving computers as tools for uncountable applications. One stream of computer science is in computational intelligence, where people work to create computer systems that can perceive and reason about the world and surroundings.

All returning CMS students planning to pursue the CPSC package should contact the CMS director as soon as possible

All new year 2 CMS students applying for CMS Computer Science package Admission:

Packages with the Computer Science option offer very limited seats. If you’re pursuing the CS option as one of your three packages, you must complete the survey below. The system helps avoid delays in your graduation and ensure availability of seats in upper year computer science courses.

The survey is closed for the upcoming academic year. For questions about the computer science package, contact the CMS Director.

Seats are assigned based on overall GPA, completed courses, and other factors. You’ll be informed by July 4th whether you’ve gained admission to the CMS Computer Science option. If you do not receive an email by July 5th, you have not been assigned a seat in the CMS CS package. When you’ve finalized your three packages, visit the CMS portal and update your profile by adding completed courses annually.

Mathematics is a powerful tool for solving practical problems and a highly creative field of study, combining logic and precision with intuition and imagination. It is more than just numbers and rules for calculating with them. The basic goal of mathematics is to reveal and explain patterns - whether the pattern appears as electrical impulses in an animal's nervous system, as fluctuations in stock market prices, or as fine detail of an abstract geometric figure.

Statistics is the branch of mathematics that deals with collecting, organizing and analyzing data. It allows us to see if observations about a particular phenomenon can be generalized and helps us make informed decisions based on thorough interpretation of data. Statisticians extract information from data. Nowadays, due to increased computer use, massive amounts of data are collected and, thus, statistics has become one of the most pervasive of all disciplines.
