Computer Science

Computer science is a new field and its object of investigation (universe) is a computer, which is an ever-developing artifact, the materialization of the ideas that try to structure knowledge and the information about the world, including computers themselves. However different, Computer Science has its basis in logic and mathematics, and both theoretical and experimental research methods follow patterns of classical scientific fields. Computer modeling and simulation as a method is specific for the discipline, and it is going to develop even more in the future, not only applied to computers, but also to other scientific as well as commercial and artistic fields. In Wikipedia “ Computer Science is the study and the science of the theorical foundations of information and computation and their implementation and application in computer systems”.

Study of Computer Science consequently requires utilizing concepts from many different fields. Computer Science integrates theory and practice, abstraction (general) and design (specific). The historical development has led to emergence of a big number of sciences that communicate more and more not only because the means of communication are getting very convenient and effective, but also because a need increases for getting a holistic view of our world, that is presently strongly dominated by reductionism. Computer science have many sub-fields, As a discipline, computer science spans a range of topics from theoretical studies of algorithms and the limits of computation to the practical issues of implementing computing systems in hardware and software.

The discipline of computer science: theory of computation, algorithms and data structures, programming methodology and languages, and computer elements and architecture, Software engineering, artificial intelligence, computer networking and communication, database systems, parallel computation, distributed computation, computer-human interaction, computer graphics, operating systems, and numerical and symbolic computation as being important areas of computer science.
