Computer science from A to Z
A is for Algorithm
Looking up a word in a dictionary, doing an addition, finding the shortest route on a map...
To solve these problems, systematic methods exist that are sure to lead to the desired result: algorithms.

B is for Bug
A message flashes up on your screen: “The program must close due to an unknown error.” You have just lost your last ten minutes of work...
Smile! You have fallen victim to a bug!

C is for Cryptography
You can make an online card payment in a single click.
The communication is secured: a pirate intercepting the transaction would not see anything usable, just a series of seemingly meaningless figures.

Computer science from A to Z
D is for Data
You have four friends coming over for dinner and your fridge is half-empty. You scour the index of your cookery book and find a risotto that you can rustle up with your limited provisions.
Your evening has been rescued... by a database!

Computer science from A to Z
F is for Form (Shape)
Recognising a face, understanding a word you hear, distinguishing "spam" from legitimate e-mails, spotting an abnormal ECG: for a computer, all these things more or less come down to the same thing... shape recognition.

Computer science from A to Z
G is for Grid
A bicycle manufacturer may spread the manufacturing of its bicycles' constituent parts among several plants.
Computer scientists do the same when faced with some complex calculations: they break them down into multiple tasks, which are then assigned to different computers, which perform them simultaneously.

H is for Horology (Clocks)
Like a symphony orchestra, a computer system is composed of very varied elements: processors to process information, memories to record it, interfaces to communicate with the outside world, etc.
And the "conductor" of a computer is its clock.

I is for Internet
You want to wish a happy birthday to your old friend who has retired to Bora Bora?
You can contact him via instant messaging software and the Internet, the network of networks, which links computers all over the world.
