Computer science or computing science (CS) is the study of the theoretical foundations of information and computation. It includes practical techniques for their implementation and application in computer systems. Computer scientists invent algorithmic processes that create, describe, and transform information and formulate suitable abstractions to design and model complex systems.

Students can achieve an 'unofficial degree' in computer science from this department. There is no diploma or official recognition - this is simply an opportunity to follow a similar learning path to a traditional college Computer Science program.

Many courses are in need of further development, and our pool of contributors only post sporadically (due to living real-world lives). If you find a resource that needs help please consider lending a hand - see the Help Page to learn more.

Divisions and Departments

Major divisions may include higher level generalized topics such as...

• Topic:Computer Programming
• Topic:Computer Architecture
• Topic:Computer Forensics and Information Assurance (IE) Cyber Security
• Topic:Computer Network Administration

Please discuss

For specialized departments and brainstorming, see the Specialized Departments page.
