That's not science.

>What's the science part in computer science?
I can only speak for my self, but for my master thesis I configured multiple networking test beds and ran experiments and had to do statistical analysis of the results in order to measure the effect of multi-level parameter changes on router queues, and based on my results I made a model of different queue schemes and their effects on network traffic which was later publishe. I'm pretty sure that would classify as science.
That's mathematics.

computer science is the only real science on which all other fields build, because the most fundamental part of the universe is not space or energy or quantum fields, it is literally information itself
pic related is a random nigger

What's the engineering part in software engineering?
Ian Edwards
The methodical process.
Alexander Stewart
quantum theory is the most fundamental physical manifestation of information tho
David Phillips
"computer science" really is a dumb name.

that's what they thought 70 years ago

Not a real science.
Anthony Rivera
It isn't science, its applied discrete memeatics
Asher Kelly
Shit like that
Andrew Harris
My point exactly.
Kayden Anderson
Information Theory is applied in many fields not computer science. Literally the paper you linked is an Information Theory application in Physics.

Measuring relative time and memory usage performance between algorithms for particular data set distributions.
Jaxon Young
I've never understood how this can be measured. Doesn't the efficiency of an algorithm completely dependent on the programmer's skill and implementation as well as the bloat of the language they're using (e.g. I imagine java is slower than C++ because of garbage collection)?
Jacob Moore
Its a misnomer
CS should be a branch of mathematics

No, that is the performance of the implementation. You can implement one algorithm perfectly and a better one sloppily and the implementation of the worse algorithm will perform better. But the better algorithm is still the better algorithm. If you implement both algorithms equally well, the better algorithm will perform better.
There is a way to calculate average completion time, worst case scenarios etc, that can be used to measure the better algorithm. Though this also depends on input. One algorithm can be more efficient on general input and one can be more efficient on the use case you expect.
Common example are the sort algorithms.
Jacob Sullivan
In a way it is. But then so should be physics.
Christian Cruz
lol wtf you talking about nigger
computer science is applied mathematics, and it's mathematics all other fields build on
Mason Mitchell
non binary gender studies. everything math related is engineering.
