Computer Science, or computing science, is the study of the theoretical foundations of information and computation and their implementation and application in computer systems. Computer science is the study of information" [1] Department of Computer and Information Science], Guttenberg Information Technologies Computer science is the study of computation." Computer Science Department, College of Saint Benedict, Saint John's University,"Computer Science is the study of all aspects of computer systems, from the theoretical foundations to the very practical aspects of managing large software projects." Massey University Computer science has many sub-fields; some emphasize the computation of specific results (such as computer graphics), while others relate to properties of computational problems (such as computational complexity theory). Still others focus on the challenges in implementing computations. For example, programming language theory studies approaches to describing computations, while computer programming applies specific programming languages to solve specific computational problems with solutions. A further subfield, human-computer interaction, focuses on the challenges in making computers and computations useful, usable and universally accessible to people.
