سوال ۲۴ کنکور ارشد علوم کامپیوتر ۱۴۰۴

Read the passage and answer the question.

PASSAGE 3:

In the sciences, mathematics is used to build a model of the observed reality. In physics, for example, scientists propose mathematical systems describing physical objects and phenomena pertaining to them. After accumulating data about planetary motion, Kepler formulated three mathematical laws which planetary motion satisfies. [1] Using these, he could simulate planets moving around a sun, predict the actual position of planets and verify properties such as “Using these three laws of planetary motion, there is no way in which Mars will collide with Earth in the next million years.”

Unlike these natural sciences, in computer science, we study artificial objects: computers, programs, programming languages, etc. Despite this there is no fundamental difference, in the sense that we would still like to have a model of these systems to reason mathematically about them. Will this program terminate? Does it give the right answer? Is this computer capable of performing this complex operation?

In programming, we very frequently we have to represent complex structures. Imagine writing a program which has an internal representation of the map of the London Underground, these game configurations or rules of English grammar. Describing these objects adequately requires the use of complex data structures. [2] Fortunately, objects such as the ones mentioned have been very well studied by mathematicians. [3] The mathematical way of describing such systems can then be readily translated into a data structure to be used in our programs. And just as we can use mathematics to guide the design of data structures, computer designers and computer scientists use mathematics to build circuits and computers, and design programming languages.
