In which way - interested - does it involve science or what is your definition of science?
- octopoc 9y agoI'm not the OP, but effective debugging makes use of the scientific method.
- ethelward 9y agoNot OP, but maths, maths again, and still more maths. Type systems, algorithm proof, complexity, boolean logic... And if we go into CS applications: games are maths, bioinformatics is maths, accounting is maths, ... Or in the implementation: electronics, semi-conductors physic, eletrical engineering, ...
- bryondowd 9y agoI wouldn't think math is science. Otherwise, the acronym STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) would be awfully redundant. And yeah, I'd say CS is closer to math than science, except maybe when you look at things like manufacturing processes and such, which is more of an engineering or materials science track.
- michaelmior 9y agoI was thinking of science in terms of "uses the scientific method." This is a pretty loose definition, but I think it's a reasonable one. I find I regularly apply the scientific method in terms of the observe, hypothesize, test, revise cycle.
