WHAT IS COMPUTER SCIENCE?
Computer science is concerned with the implementation of scientific methods to process information by means of computers. In particular, it enriches the following areas:
- Business management and financial exchanges
- Communications of all kinds
- Robot control in factories and machine design
- Artificial intelligence: understanding images, video, language, robotics
- Synthesis of images for cinema or television
- Pattern recognition on satellite or medical images
- Natural language processing and automatic deduction
- Scientific calculations or complex techniques
In addition to its applied aspects, computer science benefits from an important theoretical support which continues to be consolidated. Theorists try, for example, to discover intrinsic limits to what can be done efficiently by computers, and to summarize the phenomena of computing in the form of laws and theorems.
