Science is what we understand well enough to explain to a computer. Art is everything else we do.
...
Science advances whenever an Art becomes a Science. And the state of the Art advances too, because people always leap into a new territory once they have understood more about the old.
--Knuth
计算机科学是科学吗？下面两篇文章很值得一读。对全面的理解计算机科学这个学科很有帮助。

另外关于计算机科学，Dijkstra有一句流传很广的说法。"Computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes."
