- Subject: What *is* computer science, anyway?
- Message-ID: <1992Sep9.132650.6603@iscsvax.uni.edu>

- I would be interested in knowing how some of the people who read this group
- *regularly* would answer the following:
-
- Define (in 50 words or less) Computer Science.
-
- Part of this is because I really *do* want to know. The other part has to do
- with a course I am currently taking. Please e-mail your answers to
- bohy@att1.uni.edu before September 14, 1992. If anyone is interested in my
- doing such, after I have used the definitions for what I need, I could post
- them (making each individual's definition anonymous).
-
- I truly appreciate your cooperation in this "survey". Try not to make these
- defnintions overly long - I'd like to think we could be concise about the whole
- thing. To avoid the flame war for now, I shall refrain from posting my own
- definition. These things will be read objectively (as possible), and I have no
- intention of voicing my agreement or disagreement with anyone's opinion. I'm
- just collecting some "data".
-
- Thanks again!
