JAMB Subject Combination for Computer Science

The JAMB subject combination for Computer Science is not far from easy grasp as long as you know what you are doing. The first requirement is having the flair for computing and anything related to information technology. So what is the Computer Science course all about?

Computing drives innovation in engineering, business, entertainment, education, and the sciences. It provides solutions to complex, challenging problems of all kinds.

This course is the study of computers and computational systems. It is a broad field which includes everything from the algorithms that make up software to how software interacts with hardware to how well software is developed and designed. Computer scientists use various mathematical algorithms, coding procedures, and their expert programming skills to study computer processes and develop new software and systems.

What it does basically is focusing 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.
