 | | With the exception of quantum computers, the implementation technology of a computer is not as important for classification purposes as the features that the machine implements. | | | General-purpose computers must be programmed with a set of instructions specific to the task they are required to perform and these instructions are collectively know as computer software. | | | Single-purpose computers were the earliest form of computing device. |

| | Computing includes computer science, so the discipline of computing spans from deep theoretical questions about the nature of computation and information to the domains and ways in which computers are used or could be used. | | | Computational science is computing with a focus on compute-intense domains; information technology is computing with a focus on data-intense domains. | | | Again, each of computational science and information technology can involve research in computing foundations, computer science, or computing. |

| | Computer Science as a Profession |
| | Computer science is a discipline that involves the understanding and design of computers and computational processes. | | | In computer science there is an inherent intermingling of the theoretical concepts of computability and algorithmic efficiency with the modern practical advancements in electronics that continue to stimulate advances in the discipline. | | | Thus, a well educated computer scientist should be able to apply the fundamental concepts and techniques of computation, algorithms, and computer design to a specific design problem. |

| | The current approaches to computer science education fail to teach the science of computing. | | | The department's stated mission was "to create and test new concepts and techniques in computer systems design, and to identify and provide a first inroad into new areas of computer applications." Since then,our research program which is broad and deep, has covered twenty different areas of computer science and the related discipline of operations research. | | | A computer science degree now tends to be seen more like a liberal-arts major, as a solid grounding for all kinds of future endeavors rather than as a warm-up round of job training that precedes going to work in the computer industry. |
