A Simplified Computer Science GlossaryDr. Robert B. HeckendornComputer Science Department, University of IdahoFebruary 15, 2022 Here is a very simple Glossary of Computer Science terms. It covers hardware, software, and related ideas. In somecases a narrow definition is given for simplicity sake. This makes a good Glossary for an introduction to computerscience. You should also check out the number systems - This is 2 to the 8th power. It is the number of different numbers that you can store in a byte (8 bits), usuallyranging from 0 to 255.
