		In practice, computer science includes a variety of topics relating to computers, which range from the abstract analysis of algorithms to more concrete subjects like programming languages, software, and computer hardware.
		Computer scientists also study other kinds of machines, some practical (like parallel and quantum machines) and some theoretical (like random and oracle machines).
		Computer science studies what programs can and cannot do (computability and artificial intelligence), how programs should efficiently perform specific tasks (algorithms), how programs should store and retrieve specific kinds of information (data structures), and how programs and people should communicate with each other (user interfaces and programming languages).

		Computation can be defined as finding a solution to a problem from given inputs by means of an algorithm.
		For thousands of years, computing was done with pen and paper, or chalk and slate, or mentally, sometimes with the aid of tables.
		One way to measure the power of a computational model is to study the class of formal languages that the model can generate; this leads to the Chomsky hierarchy of languages.

		Biomolecular computing is a field that seeks to harness and expand the powerful toolbox of chemical and enzymatic processes for manipulating biomolecules, with the goal of exploiting these processes as a means performing computational tasks.
		It is fair to say, however, that the recent results from theoretical computer science that attempt to exploit quantum mechanical principles for both computation and cryptography have been a great stimulus to our understanding the implications and meaning of several fundamental quantum mechanical phenomena, such as superposition of states, decoherence, and EPR pairs.
		Until theoretical computer scientists such as Peter Shor became involved, there seemed to be insuperable fundamental obstacles confronting would-be builders of quantum computers, such as the difficulty of exact measurement and the principle of decoherence.

		The theoretical discoveries of Alan Turing, John von Neumann (Institute faculty member 1933-57) and their contemporaries led to the practical construction of the first stored program computer at the IAS, followed by the computer "revolution" we are witnessing today.
		The practical use of computers, and simultaneously the unexpected mathematical depth of the abstract notion of "computation" has significantly altered and expanded theoretical computer science.
		A commitment to the permanent presense of Theoretical Computer Science and Discrete Mathematics was made by appointing Avi Wigderson to the newly created faculty position (1999).

		Mathematicians not only study, but also research, and this must be given prominent mention here, because a misconception that everything in mathematics is already known is widespread among persons not learned in that field.
		In fact, the publication of new discoveries in mathematics continues at an immense rate in hundreds of scientific journals, many of them devoted to mathematics and many devoted to subjects to which mathematics is applied (such as theoretical computer science, physics or quantum mechanics).-
		There still exists experimental mathematics, where the truth of conjectures is probed by testing them on a number of examples, generally using computers.
