In this modern era of constantly developing technologies, digital devices are the utmost crucial resources that underpins all of the luxuries and factors of staying synchronized with the rest of the world. Computers are amongst the most ideal examples of such digital devices - the 21st century miracle machines.
Without computers, we may find it increasingly difficult to navigate through the limits set by the demanding needs of modern lifestyles. And ofcourse, we require a minimum level of basic knowledge about information and communication technology (ICT) in order to calibrate ourselves with the other nations' advancing technology.
Computer science, which is also referred to as "computation science" or "computing science", is a study of the algorithmic processes that are under interaction with data (raw information), and that can be classified as a representation of data in the form of computer programs (software applications). To store, manipulate, convey, and implement digital information within the computer universe is a result of the use of specific algorithms via the bridges offset by computer science.
Computer science is not to be confused with "computation science" (which is another discrete field that relies on advanced computing capabilities to compile and neutralize complex problems) or "software engineering" (which is a derivative sector of computer engineering to the systematic development of software).
Although similar at first glance, computer science and engineering (CSE) is an integrated field combining computer science with computer engineering. CSE is more of a subset of electronics engineering.
The fields of computer science, one of the main scopes of this book, are partitioned into both theoretical and practical disciplines.
We shall glimpse some vital aspects of computer science in the next issue.
