>> Computer science is problem
solving, and our tools are
computers and computer
programming languages.
>>Computer science is the field
that deals with solving real
world problems with current
computer technology.
>> Computer science is all about
finding systematic solutions to
problems that are computable.
>> I think computer science is a
field about logic and reasoning.
You're trying to solve problems
using computers, but a lot of
the times the computer plays in
mainly as a restriction.
>> We're actually
studying processes.
We're studying how to go from 1
step to another to arrive at a
solution.
>> It's the science of
computation.
>> Computer science is not only
about just writing computer
programs.
>> It's a lot more than
programming.
It's a lot more than sitting at
desk in front of a computer
screen all day and typing,
typing, typing.
>> A lot of computer science is
about problem solving, and
trying to figure out solutions
to problems using computers more
efficiently, and seeing what
computers are really capable of.
>> In computer science you are
trying to understand what is
possible, and often that
involves very, very creative
answers.
>> It gives you the tools you
need in both conceptual ways as
well as very detailed applied
ways, for taking any kind of a
problem, whether it's a
mathematics problem, or a
problem with how to work out a
better process.
Computer science gives you the
tools you need in order to solve
problems.
>> But if you really get down to
it, it's about what are the
rules and what are the tools,
and what are the technologies
that you can use to take
anything that you imagine, or
almost anything that won't deny
the laws of physics.
Take what you imagine and build
something that's real out of it.
