Computer science :

In simple words it is to learn how to proggram computer applications.
Eg .   ATM machine for banking is product of computer science
 ( Because CS has its roots in  electrical engineering  mathematics ) .

Computer Science” is the mixture and application of Electrical Engineering  Mathematics ,and Complex Theory/Algorithms  to understand and/or to  model information.





Information technology :


In simple words it is how to use computer applications , technologies  in  business.

Eg:  visa , Debit card online payment ,online money transfer are product of Information Technology
