Babby freshman has just received the obligatory elitist college introduction lecture?

No one cares. Enjoy formulating formal proofs for BFS for the 3,000,000th time.

We all had to go through that

That doesn't make any sense, cs is like 95% about computers dumbass.

>>52014135
just a special kind of math. all real science is, actually.
it's very close to math in theory. in practice, having layers of abstraction stacked and building on each other makes it seem very far.

Computer science is like a fedora. Decades ago, people respected it. Now it's a joke.

Computer - a person who makes calculations, especially with a calculating machine.

It's the science of using calculating machines.

Then why is it called computer science?

He says this while using a computer to shitpost

Computer science today has nothing to do with computers.

>>52014889
This is the sad truth

It's about computation, not 'Computers' themselves.

so the answer is math?
