Although computer scientists can also focus their work and research on specific areas (such as algorithm and data structure development and design, software engineering, information theory, database theory, theoretical computer science, numerical analysis, programming language theory, compiler, computer graphics, computer vision, robotics, computer architecture, operating system), their foundation is the theoretical study of computing from which these other fields derive.
with an overall objective of discovering designs that yield useful benefits (faster, smaller, cheaper, more precise, etc.).
[3] Employment prospects for computer scientists are said to be excellent.
Computer scientists can follow more practical applications of their knowledge, doing things such as software engineering.
[4] Computer scientists employed in industry may eventually advance into managerial or project leadership positions.
