With the rapid advances in science and technology during the last few decades, computers and computing systems have proven to be the key technology supporting and covering almost every area of life, from education and research, to commerce and entertainment. With the recent growth of networking systems such as the global Internet system connecting millions of people engaged in business, education and research computing has become one of the most powerful aspects of progress in human life.
Computer science is the area of study at the basis of this exciting expansion of human knowledge and capabilities. It merges aspects of mathematics and electronics to allow us to describe abstract concepts or knowledge from any area of interest in a very precise manner and then utilize powerful microelectronics circuits to actually produce a result which can be the flight of a deep-space satellite, a computer graphics system for movie special effects, systems for scientific computation, or even a desktop word processor.With such a broad range of applications, a computer scientist or computer professional must be firmly grounded in the knowledge of how these systems are organized, and in the principles which are used to create and apply computing to all of these diverse areas of life.
