Introduction to Computer Science

Computer science is the study of the theory, design, and implementation of computer systems and algorithms.
It combines principles from mathematics, electrical engineering, and linguistics to develop efficient and effective solutions to computational problems.

Algorithms and Data Structures: designing and analyzing algorithms for solving computational problems, and data structures to store and manage data.
Artificial Intelligence: creating intelligent machines that can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as learning, reasoning, and problem-solving.
Computer Architecture: designing and building computer systems, including hardware and software components.
Computer Networks: designing and managing communication networks, including the internet.
Database Systems: designing and managing systems for storing and retrieving data.
Human-Computer Interaction: designing user interfaces and experiences to interact with computers.
Operating Systems: managing computer hardware and software resources to provide a platform for running applications.
Software Engineering: designing, developing, and testing software systems.

Algorithm: a step-by-step procedure for solving a computational problem.
Big-O Notation: a measure of the computational complexity of an algorithm.
Binary: a number system using only 0s and 1s.
Bit: a single binary digit.
Byte: a group of 8 bits.
Cache: a small, fast memory that stores frequently accessed data.
CPU: the central processing unit, responsible for executing instructions.
Memory Hierarchy: a system of caches and memory that store data and programs.

High-Level Languages: abstract, easy-to-use languages, such as Python, Java, and C++.
Low-Level Languages: closer to machine language, such as Assembly and Machine Language.
Scripting Languages: languages used for rapid development and prototyping, such as JavaScript and Python.

Web Development: building websites and web applications using programming languages and frameworks.
Mobile App Development: building mobile apps for Android and iOS devices.
Gaming: creating games using computer science concepts and programming languages.
Machine Learning: applying AI and machine learning to solve complex problems.
Cybersecurity: protecting computer systems and networks from cyber threats.
