One of my greatest interests.
First of all, a science (made of explanations and predictions) and a mathematical discipline (made of theorems). Specifically, the study of information, computation and automation.
Never to be intended simply as the “science of computers”. Or at least not as we mean today: the name was meant for people, not for machines.

The computer is to Computer Science as the telescope is to astronomy.
I’m particularly interested in the theoretical aspects of Computer Science, however I’m also enthusiastic about practically applying my knowledge.
