Often, however, their curricula does not include any courses in computer science. It is possible to tackle this educational problem by introducing elements of computer science into the mathematics and/or statistics courses which do appear in their curricula. In this paper we suggest a method for integrating the teaching of the two different topics, for example, programming with calculus or statistics. The suggested approach has been extensively tested in mathematics courses for earth sciences, chemistry and pharmaceutical chemistry students at the University of Genova, Italy. We also believe that our approach provides some useful suggestions towards the solution of similar educational problems in the higher level courses of secondary schools.

Which and how much mathematics for architecture? What kind of teaching? Is it better to have information on many aspects, or a deeper insight into only a few? Is it better to privilege a historical-philosophical overview, or to focus aspects of application that are current today? These are some of the questions that are raised by whoever deals with teaching mathematics in a faculty or school of architecture.
