Computer science is the study of the theory, experimentation and engineering that form the basis for the design and use of computers. It is scientific and practical approach to computation and its applications and the systematic study of the feasibility, structure, expression and mechanization of the methodical procedures (or algorithms) that underlie the acquisition, representation, processing, storage, communication of, and access to information. An alternate, more succinct definition of computer science is the study of automatic algorithmic processes that scale. A computer scientist specializes in the theory of computation and the design of computational systems.
