Computer Science is the representation and manipulation of information; it is the study of the theory, analysis, design, and implementation of the data structures that represent information, and the algorithms that transform them [see also ACM definition of computing]. There remain many open questions in the field, such as:
Computer Science is interdisciplinary, with roots in mathematics, physics and engineering, and with applications in virtually every academic discipline and professional enterprise (e.g., scientific computing, physics and astronomy, economics, cognitive science, neuroscience, bioinformatics, linguistics, and the humanities).
A man with a watch knows what time it is. A man with two watches is never sure. -- Segal's Law I do not fear computers. I fear the lack of them. -- Issac Asimov The purpose of computing is insight, not numbers. -- Richard Wesley Hamming Computer science differs from the known sciences so deeply that it has to be viewed as a new species among the sciences. -- Juris Hartmanis Eventually hardware fails; eventually software works.
