-"Vychislitel'naia tekhnika"- means hardware
"informatika" is a sience about information (optomization of information
"potokov"
I don't know technical equivalent on English, maybe "information
currencies", theory
of information)
In russia we didn't have a subject "computer sience" the same as in
school we didn't
have subject "sience" but "history","geography", "physics and so on. The
same " computer
science" is a matter of many subjects.
