Computer science
From Wiki @ Karl Jones dot com
Computer science is the scientific and practical approach to computation and its applications.
Description
Computer science is the systematic study of the feasibility, structure, expression, and mechanization of the methodical procedures (or algorithms) that underlie the acquisition, representation, processing, storage, communication of, and access to information, whether such information is encoded as bits in a computer memory or transcribed in genes and protein structures in a biological cell.
An alternate, more succinct definition of computer science is the study of automating algorithmic processes that scale.
Computer scientist
A computer scientist specializes in the theory of computation and the design of computational systems.
