Fundamentals of Computer Science

1. What is Computer Science?

Computer Science is the systematic study of computation and its applications. It blends mathematics, logic,

and engineering principles to solve problems through automation. This discipline encompasses everything

from theoretical algorithms to practical software development.

Key Areas:

- Theoretical computer science (e.g., algorithms, computational theory)

- Software engineering (e.g., development of applications)

- Artificial intelligence (e.g., learning systems)

- Cybersecurity and ethical computing

Real-World Example:

Consider developing a navigation system:

- Algorithms: Dijkstra's algorithm for shortest path

- Programming: Writing the code in Python

- Hardware: GPS module and smartphone

- Networking: Real-time traffic data from the cloud

In summary, Computer Science powers modern innovations like mobile apps, smart devices, robotics, and

beyond.
