Computer Science Engineering

Computer science or computing science (abbreviated CS or CompSci) designates the scientific and mathematical approach in computing.A computer scientist is a person who does work at a professional level in computer science and/or has attained a degree in computer science or a related field. Its subfields can be divided into practical techniques for its implementation and application in computer systems and purely theoretical areas. Some, such as computational complexity theory, which studies fundamental properties of computational problems, are highly abstract, while others, such as computer graphics, emphasize real-world applications. Still others focus on the challenges in implementing computations. For example, programming language theory studies approaches to description of computations, while the study of computer programming itself investigates various aspects of the use of programming languages and complex systems, and human-computer interaction focuses on the challenges in making computers and computations useful, usable, and universally accessible to humans.

Major achievements

  • The start of the "digital revolution," which includes the current Information Age and the Internet.
  • A formal definition of computation and computability, and proof that there are computationally unsolvable and intractable problems.
  • The concept of a programming language, a tool for the precise expression of methodological information at various levels of abstraction.
  • Scientific computing enabled practical evaluation of processes and situations of great complexity, as well as experimentation entirely by software. It also enabled advanced study of the mind, and mapping of the human genome became possible with the Human Genome Project. Distributed computing projects such as Folding@home explore protein folding.
  • Algorithmic trading has increased the efficiency and liquidity of financial markets by using artificial intelligence, machine learning, and other statistical and numerical techniques on a large scale. High frequency algorithmic trading can also exacerbate volatility
  • Image synthesis, including video by computing individual video frames.
