computer science

Computer science is the study of the storage, transformation and transfer of information. The field encompasses both the theoretical study of algorithms (including their design, efficiency and application) and the practical problems involved in implementing them in terms of computer software and hardware.
Computer science has its roots primarily in the fields of electrical engineering (i.e., electronics), mathematics and linguistics. It is still a relatively young field, mainly because it was only about a half century ago that electronics technology became sufficiently advanced to allow the construction of even primitive electronic computing devices.
In computer science, scientists apply concepts and techniques of computation, algorithms and computer design to a specific problem.

I believe teh Science

A phrase commonly uttered by those who can't even do algebra.
I believe teh Science is real, the solution to x^2 + 1 = 0 is real, water is real, Fauci = love, Science = love, so Fauci = Science, therefore questioning Fauci makes you an anti-science bigot. Tl;dr I am better than u.

tobacco science

"Science" done on behalf of an interest defending it's cash cow from overwhelming credible science that shows it is harmful or detrimental to public benefit in some way.
Science conducted by a cigarette company showing that cigarettes are safe would be "tobacco science".

Another example: Science conducted on behalf of the plastic manufacturing industry showing that BPA is a safe chemical for human consumption, when a wealth of credible independent scientific research shows otherwise

Mad Science

n; When it come to building a Frakenstein monster or a nuclear-powered fruit juicer, regular science just isn't good enough. Mad science is the up and coming field of thinking outside the box and the laws of nature to develop theories, build devices and otherwise perform scientific miracles that are, by the standards of civilized man, completely impossible.
The Frankenstein Monster, created by Doctor Victor von Frankenstein, is the textbook example of mad science at work.

Exploring Computer Science

ECS is the absolutely most boring class imaginable. It is taught by a woman named Ms Woster who looks like she has come back from the dead, and she literally sucks the life out from you like a dementor. The class causes many of the students to have suicidal thoughts because they want to escape the pain. The class is one of the many required tortuous classes at Ursuline Academy of Death. If a student survives the school, she is most likely able to survive the harsh real world.
Help me, I'm stuck in Exploring Computer Science with the Woster!
