Computer science is the scientific and practical approach to computer-based system design, development, and operation. It covers areas ranging from the fundamental principles of computation to tools and techniques for IT system development and evaluation, including identifying and solving systems design issues associated with efficiency, usability, and security.
Computer science applications extend into specialised areas, including mobile computing, artificial intelligence, robotics, and large-scale information management involving information retrieval and web search engines.
