Computer science is the study of the theory, experimentation, and engineering that form the basis for the design and use of computers. It is the scientific and practical approach to
computation and its applications and the systematic study of the feasibility, structure, expression, and mechanization of the methodical
procedures (or
algorithms) that underlie the acquisition, representation, processing, storage, communication of, and access to, information. An alternate, more succinct definition of computer science is the study of automating algorithmic processes that scale. A
computer scientist specializes in the theory of computation and the design of computational systems.
[1]Its fields can be divided into a variety of theoretical and
practical disciplines. Some fields, such as
computational complexity theory (which explores the fundamental properties of
computational and intractable problems), are highly abstract, while fields such as
computer graphics emphasize real-world visual applications. Other fields still focus on challenges in implementing computation. For example,
programming language theory considers various approaches to the description of computation, while the study of
computer programming itself investigates various aspects of the use of
programming language and
complex systems.
Human–computer interaction considers the challenges in making computers and computations useful, usable, and
universally accessible to humans.Its fields can be divided into a variety of theoretical and
