What is computing?
Computing (also known as computer science) is the study of all things related to computation or automated problem-solving, including: • What computers can do and what they cannot do. • Ways that a person can instruct a computer to perform a computation. • How information is described and manipulated. • Ways that people and computers interact. • Algorithms or “recipes” for specific computations and the properties of those algorithms. • Strategies, techniques, and methodologies for designing a computation. • The machines that perform computations. Computing is the off-spring of two very different disciplines: • Mathematics, particularly the study of mathematical models of computation; and • Electrical Engineering, particularly the construction of machines to perform computation. With these roots, computing is a broad discipline whose areas range from the architectures of specific machines to algorithms to programming languages to formal models of computation.
