Generally, Computer Science is referred to as a trade of Engineering. But Computer Science is much more than that. To answer the question what computer science is, we need to consult a highly talented and experienced Computer Science professional. But, every Computer Scientist will give you a different answer based on his or her knowledge. So how do we get to know the real definition of 'Computer Science'? Let's look at the definitions provided by various sources on the Internet and other media.
wordnetweb-
It is the branch of engineering science that deals with computing processes and structures.
wikipedia-
Computer Science is the study of theoretical foundations of information and computataion.
The most simple and easy to understand definition is on flybyte which says,
CS is the study of Computer Hardware and Software.
According to a video uploaded by CS department at Rochester Institute of Technology on youtube, some definitions for Computer Science are,
- Computer Science is problem solving, and our tools are Computers and Programming Languages.
- Computer Science is a field that deals with solving real world problems using computers.
According to me, second definition listed above can be regarded as most appropriate. Let's stick with this one for now.
