Özet

Mathematics education provides people with skills such as analytical thinking, problem-solving, and making logical and consistent decisions, both in their education and daily lives. In the first years of the undergraduate education level of the Computer Engineering (CE) and Software Engineering (SE) programs of universities in Turkey, mathematics education is intensively provided, including courses such as Calculus, Linear Algebra, Probability and Statistics, and Differential Equations. In this study, our aim is to investigate the quality, adequacy, and necessity of mathematics education provided in CE and SE programs in Turkey, its impact on the success of students in CE and SE programs, as well as its effect on performance both in their education and professional lives. For this purpose, we have administered a survey to the students and graduates of the CE and SE programs. We have asked some questions to the participants about the success and necessity of the mathematics courses they took and the teaching performance of the instructors who taught mathematics courses. The data set obtained from the survey was organized and then analyzed using statistical methods.
