Since that time, the name computer science has been used for all kinds of programs that range from heavily engineering oriented to heavily math oriented. The name sticks for somewhat illogical reasons having more to do with academic politics than anything else, but that's academic life for you (see more below).

Cobalt is a chemical element with symbol Co and atomic number 27. Like nickel, cobalt in the Earth's crust is found only in chemically combined form, save for small deposits found in alloys of natural meteoric iron. The free element, produced by reductive smelting, is a hard, lustrous, silver-gray metal.obalt is the active center of coenzymes called cobalamins, the most common example of which is vitamin B12. As such it is an essential trace dietary mineral for all animals. Cobalt in inorganic form is also an active nutrient for bacteria, algae and fungi.
