How is Computer Science Different from IT?

Computer science focuses on the development and testing of software and


software systems. It involves working with mathematical models, data analysis and
security, algorithms, and computational theory. Computer scientists define the
computational principles that are the basis of all software.
Information technology (IT) focuses on the development, implementation,
support, and management of computers and information systems. IT involves
working both with hardware (CPUs, RAM, hard disks) and software (operating
systems, web browsers, mobile applications). IT professionals make sure that
computers, networks, and systems work well for all users.
