	Department of Computer Science
		Computer Science is the scientific study of algorithms and the problems they might solve.
		Students whose preparation in undergraduate mathematics or computer science is deficient are required to take undergraduate courses during the first year of graduate study as specified by the department.
		The student is admitted to formal candidacy for the master's degree upon a) the completion of the three core computer science courses with at least a 3.0 average, b) the removal of all undergraduate deficiencies, and c) the satisfactory completion of the comprehensive examination.

	Theoretical computer science - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Theoretical computer science is the collection of topics of computer science that focuses on the more abstract and mathematical aspects of computing, such as the theory of computation, analysis of algorithms and semantics of programming languages.
		"The field of theoretical computer science is interpreted broadly so as to include algorithms, data structures, computational complexity theory, distributed computation, parallel computation, VLSI, machine learning, computational biology, computational geometry, information theory, cryptography, quantum computation, computational number theory and algebra, program semantics and verification, automata theory, and the study of randomness.
		Some characterize themselves as doing the "'science' underlying the field of computing"[1], although this neglects the experimental science done in non-theoretical areas such as software system research.

		In addition, computer science master's degree candidates must have taken one year of calculus; a course in programming using a modern programming language such as Java or C++; a course in data structures; a course in computer organization; and a mathematics course beyond calculus (e.g., discrete mathematics, linear algebra, or differential equations).
		Graduate students not pursuing a master’s degree in computer science should consult with their advisers or with the computer science special student adviser to determine what courses must be successfully completed before 400- or 700-level computer science courses may be taken.
		Computer science course offerings are numbered to indicate their primary concentration.

	Closure (computer science) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Closures are typically implemented with a special data structure that contains a pointer to the function code, plus a representation of the function's lexical environment (i.e., the set of available variables and their values) at the time when the function was created.
		Closures are closely related to Actors in the Actor model of concurrent computation where the values in the function's lexical environment are called acquaintances.
		In languages without closures, the lifetime of a local variable coincides with the execution of the scope where that variable is declared.

	The Expanding Scope of Computing
		The expansion of the discipline beyond the traditional boundaries of computer science certainly has a significant impact in the broad domain of computing education.
		At most institutions today, computer science has a high service load, in the sense that many of its courses are taken by many students who will major in other areas.
		Computer science today serves as a foundation for a broad range of disciplines, in much the same way that mathematics has done for many years.

	A Computer Science Odyssey -- Hanson and Coontz 293 (5537): 2021 -- Science (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Computer technology has facilitated the collection of data so well that now, in a growing number of fields, the availability of data is no longer (or soon will not be) the limiting factor for addressing fundamental scientific questions.
		Paradoxically, the new limitation is computer technology: Only with the help of computer science can we make sense of the masses of data that computers have enabled us to collect, and share and discuss the data with colleagues around the globe.
		Several Viewpoints examine the emerging problem of data integration and analysis in different fields, from astronomy, where a personal computer may soon act as a virtual telescope, to biology, where means are being developed to comprehend enormous amounts of newfound genomic and functional data.

	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.

	Variable information - Search.com
		In computer science and mathematics, a variable (sometimes called a pronumeral) is a symbol denoting a quantity or symbolic representation.
		The scope of a variable describes where in a program's text a variable may be used, while extent (or lifetime) describes when in a program's execution a variable has a value.
		By contrast, it is permissible for a variable binding to extend beyond its scope, as occurs in Lisp closures and C static variables.

	6 Degrees of Computer Science
		Computer Science is inherently mathematical in nature, and to some there is an appeal in this direction of problem solving by numbers, theory, and without limitations and bounds of programming languages.
		Computer engineering is between the two worlds, so although you have a very solid background in both (at my school -McGill-, it was much closer to EE than Software Eng), sometimes you feel like you’re not specialized like the other two.
		The current refrain is that those that cannot teach act become computer educational academic counsellors advising and counselling future students of which computer course to take at the their educational facility in the computer science faculties.
