Opportunities for Majors in Computer
Science
Introduction
Computer
Science is primarily concerned with information processes,
the structure and procedures needed to represent them, and
the systems needed to implement them. Spanning a broad spectrum
of basic and applied subdisciplines which range from foundations
in logic and the computational complexity of algorithms through
compilers, operating systems, and databases, the discipline
continues to expand in terms of new architectures, networks,
vision, robotics, and computer-aided design.
