books about: computability     books:       Computability Theory (Chapman Hall/Crc Mathematics Series)3 reviews S. Barry Cooper Chapman & Hall/CRC, 2003 A Unique Introduction to Computability This book is an introduction to computability theory. It is organized in three parts, starting with basic computability theory and moving up to advanced topics, some of which cannot be found in textbooks today. In the first part the reader is introduced to basic concepts and results of computability like models of computation, coding, universal machines, enumerability, fixed point theorem. The ...             Discrete Structures, Logic and Computability6 reviews James L. Hein Jones & Bartlett Publishers, 1995 Second Review of Dr. Hein's Book Now, since I took two terms of classes that used Dr. Hein's book, I had internal urges to write emails to Dr. Hein and praise him for his book and his lab manual (but I never did wrote to him, though). Instead, I decided to write to a broader audience, here at Amazon. I found the book ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY, a Holistic Bible of Computer Logic so to speak, for every CS student. I have read and ...             Computability, Complexity and Languages (Computer Science & Applied Mathematics)5 reviews Martin Davis, Elaine J. Weyuker Academic Press Inc, 1983 Pure mathematical view of Computability and Complexity This is not a common book on Computability and Complexity as Hopcroft-Ullman, Sipser or Papadimitrou. You won't find here too many words describing topics: you'll find the power and elegance of a superlative mathematical approach from one the best authors of the century in the field. Conversely, you'll find here a detailed and elegant treatment of the whole history of computational models that ...             The Annotated Turing: A Guided Tour Through Alan Turing's Historic Paper on Computability and the Turing ...8 reviews Charles Petzold Wiley, 2008 should be on every aspiring mathematician's bookshelf this is a fantastic book. It manages to explain simply and clearly the entirety of turing's landmark paper and providing a thorough grounding on the base mathematical knowledge. though I had taken some set theory in college, I am fairly confident that even a devoted highschooler with some experience in geometry proofs could understand and follow this book. Of course, I should also mention that ...             Computability and Unsolvability (Information Processing)4 reviews Martin Davis McGraw-Hill Education, 1958 A great book on recusive function theory. This is a reprint of Davis's 1958 book, and at the dover price, it's a great bargain. The book is for math students and introduces the basics of recursive function theory (the table of contents gives a good impression of what's included- here the 'iteration theorem' means the smn theorem). Note it doesn't cover a lot of the more computer-science oriented topics that are standard for undergraduate ...             Information and Randomness: An Algorithmic Perspective (Texts in Theoretical Computer Science. An EATCS ...1 review Cristian S. Calude Springer, 2002 Classical ideas with modern use. I stumbled over this (lovely) book a little by accident. As I kept reading, my enthusiasm for the book gradually increased. While the book is addressed perhaps more to students in computation and in CS, it is very attractive also as a text to be used in mainstream mathematics, and in probability theory. It begins with a new look at the classical Kolmogorov construction of measures on infinite ...             Theory of Recursive Functions and Effective Computability6 reviews Hartley Rogers McGraw-Hill Education, 1968 A classic! The definitive book on computabilty and recursive function theory. I remember reading this book in preparation for research in complexity theory. I found it very stressful reading the book, but it was a good kind of stress. The kind that forces you to think deeply about what the author is writing about. In addition to the main text, the author provides numerous thought-provoking problems ...             Automata and Computability (Undergraduate Texts in Computer Science)8 reviews Dexter C. Kozen Springer, 1997 Definitely an excellent book This book has been a great surprise to me. Initially I thought that in about 300 pages (excluding homeworks and exercises) I could not find all I could need for an Automata, Languages and Computation course. I was wrong, definitely. The book is coincise, but also rich and precise. The material is very well chosen, and the writing stile is directly thought with students in mind. Kozen has a ...             A First Course in Logic: An Introduction to Model Theory, Proof Theory, Computability, and Complexity (Oxford ...1 review Shawn Hedman Oxford University Press, USA, 2004 a good book nice introduction of broad mathematical logi i studied with this book myself. and it is self contained and easy to read just a little miss type good book to have as an introduction             Automata, Computability and Complexity: Theory and Applications1 review Elaine A. Rich Prentice Hall, 2007 Good Connection Between Practice and Theory, Pedagogical I am currently taking a graduate course in a computational theory/theoretical computer science, so I am looking for any resource that can help me get a better understanding of the theoretical foundations. I found Dr. Rich's book very helpful in assisting me understand theoretical concepts that have practical applications, or understand the theoretical concepts that are usually obscured beneath ...             Computability and Logic21 reviews George S. Boolos, John P. Burgess, ... Cambridge University Press, 2002 One step from greatness. The main virtue of this book, and which sets it apart from most other modern textbooks I have seen, is that it provides clear and usually illuminating explanations of the philosophical importance of the topics covered. These explanations and clarifications are given in a clear and usually crisp prose and emphasise the philosophical importance of whatever metalogical method or result they concern. ...             The Language of Machines: An Introduction to Computability and Formal Languages12 reviews Robert W. Floyd, Richard Beigel W.H. Freeman & Company, 1994 Worth every ounce of effort you put in LOM is or ought to be a classic. For my money, it's the "Dragon Book" for undergrad/graduate teaching of a first course in automata theory. This book was used as the textbook in the automata theory course that I took post-baccalaureate. It is probably the book most responsible for my decision to go to grad school. I was working almost full time during the term I took this class, and I ...             Computability: An Introduction to Recursive Function Theory5 reviews Nigel Cutland Cambridge University Press, 1980 An excellent book for beginners in computability theory If you are a computer scientist who would like to delve into the foundations of computing for the first time, this is the perfect book for you. The author uses unlimited register machines as his computing model, then shows equivalence with this model and other models , such as the Turing machine. The reader should find more advanced topics, such Godel's Incompleteness Theorem, the Recursion ...             Algorithmic Adventures: From Knowledge to Magic Juraj Hromkovic Springer, 2009 There is a considerable, satisfying and underappreciated depth in the science of computing, it offers so much more than simply a driving licence for using a computer. The author of this book is a top researcher working on the fundamentals of informatics, and he has considerable experience teaching complex subjects in a simple manner. In this book he invites the reader to explore the science of computing, convinced that a good explanation of even ...             Computability (Graduate Texts in Mathematics)2 reviews Douglas Bridges Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. K, 1994 TCS from a mathematical point of view...the foundations For the THEORETICAL COMPUTER SCIENTIST, calculability is the foundations that will lead to complexity considerations...For those liking a rigouros approach (for example with a mathematical background) , this book is just what they need... MATHEMATICIANS should all find great pleasure in reading at least once in there life something about undecidable problems...(Yes there are some! ), and ...             Computability and Complexity Theory (Texts in Computer Science)6 reviews Springer, 2001 In fact, it is a great and concise book on the subject This book is aimed as an introductory text book on computer science theory. The book is suited for both undergraduate and graduate studies. I would have never expected a book of only a few pages to cover computability and complexity theory basics from introductory undergraduate to early graduate levels. This is because, the author focusses only on core concepts and strives to make them as clear ...             Turing's World 3.0: An Introduction to Computability Theory (Center for the Study of Language and Information ...2 reviews Jon Barwise, John Etchemendy Center for the Study of Language and Inf, 1993 No PC Version... I read Turing's Wold as the one of the texts for a class in Cognitive Science at Indiana University. Turing's World deals with a thing called a Turing Machine. Turing Machine's are a pretty interesting way to model computation. Turing's World comes with some fun software that allows you to design your own Turing Machines. It's required to do the homework in the book. Unfortunately it only ...             Grammatical Picture Generation: A Tree-Based Approach (Texts in Theoretical Computer Science. An EATCS Series)1 review Frank Drewes Springer, 2006 take Iterated Function Systems to a profounder level In the early 90s, Michael Barnsley came out with a nifty book, Fractals Everywhere, that described the use of Iterated Function Systems to draw lovely fractal images. That text was readily understandable to anyone with an undergrad background in computer programming and maths. But did you ever wonder how deeply and far the idea of iterated functions could go? One answer is in Drewes' book. It ...             Fundamentals of Mathematical Logic2 reviews Peter G. Hinman A K Peters Ltd, 2005 A Comprehensive Graduate Text If I were a young graduate student in mathematics looking for that one "perfect" graduate text on mathematical logic to purchase with my (very) limited income, I would buy a copy of Professor Hinman's book. In just under 900 pages, Hinman provides an extremely well written and informed introduction to propositional logic, first order mathematical logic, axiomatic set theory, model theory, and ...             Computability2 reviews Epstein Springer, 1991 when critical thinking, computer and math meet at one this book takes you into the world of basic pure math. it covers the basic elemects of math such as sets, functions, and proofs. but what is really making this book great and far apart from other similiar books is its elaboration of recursive function and computability, and i find it interesting.              search for books adventures, algorithmic, annotated, applications, automata, complexity, computability, computer, effective, function, functions, fundamentals, generation, grammatical, information, introduction, knowledge, languages, machines, mathematical, mathematics, perspective, processing, randomness, recursive, structures, theoretical, tree-based, undergraduate, unsolvability books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
