Abstract: Mathematics and computer science constitute the foundational pillars of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI), enabling the design of models capable of learning complex patterns from large-scale data and generating novel, meaningful outputs. Core mathematical disciplines, including probability theory, statistics, linear algebra, and optimization, provide the theoretical basis for generative modeling, while computer science translates these principles into practical algorithms, neural architectures, and scalable computing systems. This tendency adopts the concept of intelligent integration to describe the deep, systemic interaction among mathematics, computer science, and GenAI in education. The speech will show a Synergistic Innovation Model in Education integrating mathematics, computer science, and GenAI, highlighting how their joint interaction drives innovation in education. It will also uncover the complex connections between these three disciplines and demonstrate how their unification enables the creation of powerful generative models that can produce new and meaningful knowledge in education.
