Computer Science

Computer science is the study of computer software. It studies methods of representing, organizing, and manipulating information. It is concerned  with ways to solve problems more efficiently and with ways to simulate human reasoning. Some of the important areas of computer science are the design of more powerful or more easily used computer languages, the design of more powerful compilers that translate programs written in computer languages into machine-executable code, the design of operating systems, and the design of networks and methodologies for computing over multiple distributed machines. Computer science differs from computer engineering in that, for the computer scientist, strategies for and theories of software development are of primary importance, whereas computer engineers, in creating software, tend to focus more on applying and merging technologies.
