What is Computer Science

The study of information, protocols and algorithms for idealized and real automate. I automaton: “self moving” – in our context, self “deciding” or autonomous mechanism with bounded resources (time and space) I information: knowledge represented in a form suitable for transmission, manipulation, etc. I protocol: rules for exchanging information without problems I algorithm: an unambiguous, finite description in simple steps or actions Computer Science is not the study of computers, nor is it the practice of their use. The study of information, protocols and algorithms for idealized and real automate.
