This proceedings volume consists of refereed papers presented at the Second International Conference on Computing, Mathematics and Statistics (iCMS 2015) held in Langkawi, Malaysia in November 2015. Divided into three sections - Computer Science, Mathematics and Statistics - the book includes both quantitative and qualitative research that confronts current societal issues. Within the main sections, the book also covers education based research works and the applications of computer and mathematical sciences in social science, business, industries and the life and hard sciences. Drawing on the theme Bridging Research Endeavor on Computing, Mathematics and Statistics, each of the conference papers are carefully selected and edited to cater to readers from diverse applied and social sciences backgrounds. The book allows for the contemplation and reflection on the possibility of the knowledge growth and knowledge sharing in building a better world for future generations.
