Course description
Computer science concerns the understanding, designing, implementing and using computing systems. These systems can range in scale, and complexity, from the tiny components of a single processor to the globe-spanning internet.
The core concepts of computing come from mathematics, logic, and engineering, such as:
* what it means to compute
* what can or cannot be computed
* how computers work
**Applications of computer science**
Computer science also concerns the practical techniques of programming computers to solve real and difficult problems. There are many links to other subjects, including:
* electronics
* physics
* mathematics
* biology
* psychology
* linguistics
* sociology
This intellectually challenging subject underpins core technologies of the 21st century and can be a route into many different careers.
