Computer Science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes.
-- E. W. Dijkstra
Introduction
Wikipedia's Computer science.
Martín Escardó maintains a Computer science page, being both detailed and comprehensive. The Dijkstra-quotation cited above comes from this page.
Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (by Harold Abelson and Gerald Jay Sussman with Julie Sussman, foreword by Alan J. Perlis).
Computability theory
Wikipedia's Computability theory.
An interesting area related to computabilty theory: Exact real arithmetic. For me, it was surprising, how it connected problems in mathematical analysis, arithmetic and computability theory.
