Computer Science is the study of computers and computational systems. Unlike electrical and computer engineers, computer scientists deal mostly with software and software systems; this includes their theory, design, development, and application.
Principal areas of study within Computer Science include artificial intelligence, computer systems and networks, security, database systems, human computer interaction, vision and graphics, numerical analysis, programming languages, software engineering, bioinformatics and theory of computing.
Although knowing how to program is essential to the study of computer science, it is only one element of the field. Computer scientists design and analyze algorithms to solve programs and study the performance of computer hardware and software. The problems that computer scientists encounter range from the abstract-- determining what problems can be solved with computers and the complexity of the algorithms that solve them – to the tangible – designing applications that perform well on handheld devices, that are easy to use, and that uphold security measures.
Graduates of University of Maryland’s Computer Science Department are lifetime learners; they are able to adapt quickly with this challenging field.

1. The First Computer Weighed More Than 27 Tons
Her name was ENIAC, and she took up a modest 1800 square feet of space.
2. About 90% of the World’s Currency Only Exists on Computers
This means only about 10% of the global currency is actually cash.
3. The First Computer Mouse was Made of Wood Doug Engelbart invented it in 1964.
4. About 70% of Virus Engineers Work for Organized Crime Syndicates
This gives new weight to the importance of anti-virus and antimalware software, and excellent virus removal services.
5. The First Known Computer Programmer was a Woman
Her name was Ada Lovelace, and she lived in England, where she worked as a mathematician and writer. She is famous for working on the “Analytical Engine.”
