# Computer Science
|
||
|
|
||
|
Computer Science is the study of computers and the concepts that make computers possible.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Much of computer science was pioneered in the latter half of the 20th century.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Today, if you attend an undergraduate computer science course, you will learn about both hardware and software. You'll learn how computers work at a low level of abstraction (machine language) and at a high level of abstraction (modern scripting langauges like JavaScript).
