More specifically, the philosophy of computer science considers the ontology and epistemology of computational systems, focusing on problems associated with their specification, programming, implementation, verification and testing.

Well, Stanford doesn't have a clue what Computer Science is and isn't and is apparently trying to drum up admissions with slick, sexy and false advertising.

CS has zero to do with computers (with the exception of the computer scientist themselves, they are the computer), and it certainly isn't programming. It's math, you fools!
