  'Computer science' also heavily deals with the foundations of computation which very much involves lambda calculus, so yes.

    Lisp didn't pioneer lambda calculus, come on!

I'm not saying that Lisp pioneered Lambda Calculus, I'm saying that your definition "CS is the study of information complexity and how it maps to solving computational problems" isn't correct. Edit: Okay, I might have misread OP and thought he'd said LC pretty much pioneered CS, not Lisp.
