Overview:

Computer science is the study of computers and computing as well as their theoretical and practical applications. Computer science involves the principles of mathematics, engineering, and logic to a plethora of functions, including algorithm formulation, software and hardware development, and artificial intelligence

Branches of computer.

Algorithms and complexity.

An algorithm is a specific procedure for solving a well-defined computational problem. The development and analysis of algorithms is fundamental to all aspects of computer science: artificial intelligence databases, graphics, networking, operating systems, security, and so on. Algorithm development is more than just programming. It requires an understanding of the alternatives available for solving a computational problem, including the hardware, networking, programming language, and performance constraints that accompany any particular solution.

Architecture and organization.

Computer architecture deals with the design of computers, data storage devices, and networking components that store and run programs, transmit data, and drive interactions between computers, across networks, and with users. The memory stores the program’s instructions and data

 Computational science.

Computational science is a discipline concerned with the design, implementation and use of mathematical models to analyze and solve scientific problems. Typically, the term refers to the use of computers to perform simulations or numerical analysis of a scientific system or process.

Graphics and visual computing.

Visualization is the process of representing data graphically and interacting with these representations in order to gain insight into the data. Traditionally, computer graphics has provided a powerful mechanism for creating, manipulating, and interacting with these representations.

Human-computer interaction.

Human-computer interaction (HCI) is a multidisciplinary field of study focusing on the design of computer technology and, in particular, the interaction between humans (the users) and computers. While initially concerned with computers, HCI has since expanded to cover almost all forms of information technology design.

Information management

Information management is an emerging field that is concerned with: The infrastructure used to collect, manage, preserve, store and deliver information. The guiding principles that allow information to be available to the right people at the right time. The organizational and social contexts in which information exists.

Intelligent systems.

Intelligent systems are technologically advanced machines that perceive and respond to the world around them. … The field of intelligent systems also focuses on how these systems interact with human users in changing and dynamic physical and social environments.

Job of a computer scientist.

On the job, computer scientists use technology to solve problems and prepare for the future. They also write and program software to create applications. Their primary focus, however, is to validate and develop models for interaction between people and computers or software and devices.

Wages of a computer scientist.

The average annual wage for computer and information research scientists was $126,830 in May 2020. In some cases it may increase or lesser.
