Computer science is the study of computers and programs It involves studying the theoretical and algorithmic basics It involves learning about software and hardware and how it affects the processing of information The foundation of computer science is based on mathematics for probability and statistics and engineering for hardware design It involves studying algorithms patterns It is a vast field and there are computer scientists and engineers who specialize in fields such as network design artificial intelligence graphical design to name a few To make efficient programs computer science uses conceptualization designs algorithms and information structures and then examines and refines them uses different types of computer architecture and carries out different types of testing
