Computer Science is an experimental science that offers a rigorous and practical problem-solving discipline, which, as a methodology, can be applied to all walks of life.

If we suppose that many natural phenomena are in effect computations, the study of computer science can tell us about the kinds of natural phenomena that can occur.

About this Book

[edit | edit source]

This wiki is in no way endorsed or a stem from the International Baccalaureate Organisation. It is, however, the result of particular lack of a solid textbook for the new 2014 course. These pages are, furthermore, derived from notes and knowledge of a student taking the course. This wiki will, hopefully, act as a course companion. You may find the Definitions page useful for revision.

Syllabus

[edit | edit source]

The syllabus is an ideal document that should be referred to on a regular basis, whilst reading this wiki or not. It provides extensive details regarding what should be learnt rather than the content itself, as this wiki hopes to provide the end to that need. Therefore, each objective has been specified above the content that it is associated with. For example:


X.Y.Z Assessment statement that the candidate must fulfil

The example aforementioned is self explanatory, however, the X.Y.Z refers to the topic, sub-topic and objective, respectively.
