Aspect Quote by Edsger Dijkstra

Computer Science: A study akin to numerology and astrology, but lacking the precision of the former and the success of the latter.

— Stan Kelly-Bootle

Computer Science is a science of abstraction -creating the right model for a problem and devising the appropriate mechanizable techniques to solve it.

— Alfred Aho

[Computer science] is not really about computers and it's not about computers in the same sense that physics is not really about particle accelerators,…

— Hal Abelson

It's roughly the case that if systems become too complex to study in sufficient depth, physics hands them over to chemistry, then to biology,…

— Noam Chomsky

Now, the reason that we think computer science is about computers is pretty much the same reason that the Egyptians thought geometry was about…

— Hal Abelson

The burgeoning field of computer science has shifted our view of the physical world from that of a collection of interacting material particles to…

— Paul Davies

Physics and those parts of other fields that grow out of physics - chemistry, the structure of big molecules - in those domains, there…

— Noam Chomsky

Modern physics has taught us that the nature of any system cannot be discovered by dividing it into its component parts and studying each…

— Max Planck

Computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes, biology is about microscopes or chemistry is about beakers and test tubes.…

— Edsger Dijkstra

Computer science really involves the same mindset, particularly artificial intelligence.

— Frederick Lenz

I think computer science, by and large, is still stuck in the Modern age.

— Larry Wall

But biology and computer science - life and computation - are related. I am confident that at their interface great discoveries await those who…
