comment Computer science, software engineer/developer, and programmer
Peter Taylor en su respuesta no afirma que "...las traducciones hechas por los compañeros no son correctas"; tan solo menciona que, en España, "Computer Science" no se traduce tal como ha dicho Nicolás en su respuesta.

comment What is an expression in parentheses in the middle of a phrase called?
@Joze: the quote I included answers your question: the RAE recommends the use of square brackets for any kind of addition or modification to the original text; in practice, however, parentheses are commonly used instead.
