Abstraction, in general, is a fundamental concept in computer science and software development. It is one of the four cornerstones of Computer Science. It involves filtering out - essentially, ignoring - the characteristics that we don't need in order to concentrate on those that we do. The process of abstraction can also be referred to as modelling and is closely related to the concepts of theory and design. Abstraction in computer science is closely related to abstraction in mathematics due to their common focus on building abstractions as objects, but is also related to other notions of abstraction used in other fields such as art. Abstractions may also refer to real-world objects and systems, rules of computational systems or rules of programming languages that carry or utilize features of abstraction itself. The presentation provides further details on the topic.
