'''Computer Science''', or '''computing science''', is the study of the theoretical foundations of [[information]] and [[computation]] and their implementation and application in [[computer system]]s. ''Computer science is the study of information''" [http://www.njit.edu/v2/archivecatalog/undergraduate/91/19-und.html] Department of Computer and Information Science], Guttenberg Information Technologies ''Computer science is the study of computation.''" [http://www.csbsju.edu/computerscience/curriculum 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.''" [http://study.massey.ac.nz/major.asp?major_code=2010&prog_code=93068 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 problem]]s (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 language]]s 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 [[public goods|people]].
