		Computers may directly model the problem being solved, in the sense that the problem being solved is mapped as closely as possible onto the physical phenomena being exploited.
		By definition a general-purpose computer can solve any problem that can be expressed as a program and executed within the practical limits set by: the storage capacity of the computer, the size of program, the speed of program execution, and the reliability of the machine.
		Computers with general-purpose capabilities are called Turing-complete and this status is often used as the capability that defines modern computers, however, this definition is.

	MSN Encarta - Computer Science
		Computer science overlapped considerably during this time with the branch of mathematics known as numerical analysis, which examines the accuracy and precision of calculations.
		As the use of computers expanded between the 1950s and the 1970s, the focus of computer science broadened to include simplifying the use of computers through programming languages—artificial languages used to program computers, and operating systems—computer programs that provide a useful interface between a computer and a user.
		Computer science can be divided into four main fields: software development, computer architecture (hardware), human-computer interfacing (the design of the most efficient ways for humans to use computers), and artificial intelligence (the attempt to make computers behave intelligently).

	Category:Computer science - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In its most general sense, computer science (CS or compsci) is the study of computation and information processing, both in hardware and in software.
		In practice, computer science includes a variety of topics relating to computers, which range from the abstract analysis of algorithms, formal grammars, etc. to more concrete subjects like programming languages, software, and computer hardware.
		As a scientific discipline, it is distinct from mathematics, programming, software engineering, informatics, and computer engineering, although there are significant overlaps and no clear demarcation.

	A Process Education Approach to Teaching Math & Computer Science (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Process Education encompasses the philosophy that all students can improve their performance skills and become "self growers" (see definition below), provided that they participate in instructive, enlightening environments which focus on helping them improve their learning and self-assessment skills and which undergo a continuous quality improvement process involving learning, teaching, curriculum design, assessment and administration.
		Computer Science is well suited to developing this appreciation for abstraction since the development of algorithms is at the core of the discipline.
		This is "a critical and unique aspect of process education in that it is the students and not the faculty who access appropriate information, and through suitably designed conceptual models or processes discover these new concepts by themselves." [1, ix].

	Computer Science
		Computer science is faced with scientific challenges that rival any in history, yet are relevant to practical problems of today.
		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.
		'Computer science is a field that came out of the problems we solved and the ones we are still trying to solve,' she said.

	Computer - Open Encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		A computer is a device for making calculations or controlling operations that are expressible in numerical or logical terms.
		While factually accurate, this definition and those found in other dictionaries are so broad that they fail to differentiate between the many types of historic, contemporary and potential future computers.
		For example, economic models have been constructed using water flowing though multiple-constricted channels, and between 1903 and 1909 Percy E. Ludgate developed a design for a programmable analytical machine based weaving technologies in which variables were carried in shuttles.

	68: Computer science
		Computer science, today more accurately a separate discipline, considers a number of rather mathematical topics.
		There is a website devoted to the history of computing (only some of this, of course, is "computer science" in the mathematical sense).
		This is largely because subfield 68Q (computing theory) is among the largest of the three-digits subfields in the database; the extent to which that literature is part of mathematics is not clear.
