Author Description

Computer Science is the study of data, of procedures for the manipulation of data, and of the machines that store the data and carry out the procedures. This is a very wide area, which includes the study of: numbers and words; languages and the means of communication; theory and techniques of problem solving; electrical and electronic concepts; design of machines; structure of organisations that use computers and data; and group dynamics. This wide range of topics involved in the study of computer science is matched by the wide range of applications of computers in contemporary society.
