About the ‘Department of Computer Science’

By Park Jun-sang

I am going to introduce about the ‘Department of computer tion. On the basic field, we learn discrete mathematics, data
science’. Before introducing the department, we should know structure, automata, and algorithm. On the programming field,
what is ‘computer science’. Computer science is a academic we learn which we know well, programming languages like c, c
field which studies the hardware and software of a computer ++, Java. On the system field, we learn about the structures of
and develop technology related with computer systems and computers, operating systems which composes the computer
computers to apply them to various fields. From among these, system, and network.
the hardware part is divided into the field of electromagnetism,
microprocessors, and electronic circuit. Also the software part How would the prospect of computer science be which learns
