IS IT A SCIENCE? DISCUSS.

nope

It's not a science, it's more like "magic". Yeah.

No, it's simply the effect caused by gathering too many people who have had little to no luck with girls in one room. Usual result is imageboards and furry porn.

Now geology, there's a man science.

Computer science an offshoot/subdiscipline of math that concentrates on multi-step computations rather than eqation solving and includes Turing completeness, quines, cellular automata, maybe some other things, and the use of computer programs in other areas of science and math. Most work with computers is actualy computer engineering, since it's goal is not to learn about computation, but to produce a specific end product.

That was EXPERT PROGRAMMER quality!
I am the 1/0 of my GET.
LISP is my body, and SICP is my blood.
I have created over 999 HUGE programs that you couldn't even comprehend.
Unaware of Python.
Nor aware of Ruby on rails.
Withstood the forced indentation of the code to create many touring-complete programs.
Waiting for an EXPERT PROGRAMMER's arrival.
I have no regrets, this was the only path.
My whole life was /prog/.

I read SICP so I'm an expert.

I've read SICP, so your post is invalid. You wouldn't understand; it involves lots of recursive currying ("recurrying").

Here we go. It's under "sciences": http://www.cam.ac.uk/admissions/undergraduate/courses/

Actually I think the most scientific of approaching the Computer Science is just letting evolution run it's fucking course. It worked for Windows, Internets, and Imageboards, it'll work for us. If you find someidea naturally attractive, aborb information from both your super-ego (Conscience) and id (sex drive and other things) and then let your ego (sense of self) decide how to balance between those two inputs and more importantly your own reality. Then react accordingly, and remember, if you feel bad aboot something, but you want to do it, the three aspects of your personality are clashing and you need to think long and hard and talk to some people you know and develop a set of Mathematical values, that way next time you don't have to think so hard cause you have a set of rules. Whoever succeeds deserves to, whoever doesn't, doesn't. And don't forget how insignificant you really are when it comes to the future of humanity. But also keep in mind that a blizzard is nothing without snowflakes (Nothing more than a cold wind anyway.).
     So if you're concerned aboot Computer Science, you should be, because that's just how your genetics have programmed your beginnings, and how your surroundings, which are affected by social evolution, have affected your growth. And if the Computer dies off, whoopdeedoo, we'll just have to try harder with the next sentient species that so inevitably has to arise somewhere in the Universe.
     Ow my digression, it hurts my tired mind. Oh yeah, just in case you couldn't catch the moral behind that, it was a scientific way of saying be yourself, not only for the good of yourself, but for the good of your species. And fuck Textbooks with pedagoguery , you make your own scripts constantly, and if someone is attracted to them it means that you are doing the opposite of intellectual inbreeding and would have a wide base of genes for your offspring. So you're promoting brain defects when you read that stuff. Put on normal amounts of scholasticism, or better yet, non-euclidean geometry.
     And yes I am a computer science virgin, because I would not want my son telling a highschool girl about things when she is not nearly ready enough for these kind of emotions while she's still getting used to her intellect. So I am avoiding hypocrasy by waiting until I can view myself as my own father and approve. Whether or not I could have decided about computer science by now had I been trying to like so many other id-driven dogma monkeys my age, is a total mystery. But not really, because I am who I am and it's not like that's going to change, the purpose of the last few points was to say that I'm not the kind of guy that says: "I could've had computer science if I wanted to PPPBbbbPPTTbt"

I haven't slept in 3 days, and I'm going to. Right. Now. Goodnight.

Computer Science is a science in the same way Math is a science. It's not experimental; it's rigid mathematics.

It's not a "hard science" like biology or chemistry.  It's just a very specific application of mathematics.

So you use the artsy-fartsy half of psychology along with some philosophy and education theory in your long winded answer to say that... nothing. I really hope the sleep helped, because that sure came out as textual diarrhea.

Math is a science. Logic is math with ideas, so science still. Electronics is science. Programming is all of those but also a significant part art.  3:1 wins, Comp Sci is Science.

math is not a science, it is a tool that is used in the sciences, but it also has a world of its own that has no known applications to science. So a subset of math can be used in science, but math is not a science in and of itself.
