1. Computer Science and Astronomical Science (Astronomy)

2. Because I will be the birth mother of the singularity and all your base are belong to me.

3. EnterThe Matrix and 2001: A Space Odessy.

1984, here comes Major Motoko Kusanagi.

Psh, computer science isn't a science. >_>
It's just the study of math and electricity combined really.

You just had to take the fun out my post.... <_< :angry:

Anyhow, computer science consist of the scientific and mathematical approach of computing with a variety of theories to go along with it.

The electrical component you speak of is apart of computer architecture, particularly computer engineering, which is a sub-field of computer science.

In other words, you can study bare bones computer science without the electrical component.

Good day chap!

I guess it depends on the nature of the computer science program the school has created.

Was the CS major at the school more applied/software engineering oriented?

The school I'm going to transfer to combines both theoretical and practical in their CS program.

It was a healthy mix of architecture and applied programming.

The actual programming teacher has never had a real programming job though so he tries to go through algorithm development as if its going to mean anything to 90% of the people that get a job in the field.

LOL. That sucks.

If you do not mind me asking, do you work in the field of CS or another field?

I'm a jack-of-all-trades programmer. I mostly do web development, a tiny bit of DBA and on rare happy days I get to do actual desktop development.
Classic ASP for legacy systems, migrating towards .NET 3.5 C# w/ MS SQL 2008.

Ah okay. I've been wanting to get started on freelance web development/design but, I got so much crap on my plate that I haven't been able to digest it all so I can consume desert.

Eventually, I would like to either go into software engineering or network security.

It's fun stuff. I definitely prefer the richer and more powerful environment of desktop development, but good luck finding a job doing that. :rolleyes:
Good luck with your endeavors.
