What can we compute--even with unlimited resources. Is everything within reach. Or are computations necessarily drastically limited not just in practice but theoretically. These questions are at the heart of computability theory. The goal of this book is to give th... Lees meer.
The theoretical underpinnings of computing form a standard part of almost every computer science curriculum. But the classic treatment of this material isolates it from the myriad ways in which the theory influences the design of modern hardware and software systems. Th... Lees meer.
The ability to reason and think in a logical manner forms the basis of learning for most mathematics computer science philosophy and logic students. Based on the author s teaching notes at the University of Maryland and aimed at a broad audience this text covers the... Lees meer.
This book offers an original and informative view of the development of fundamental concepts of computability theory. The treatment is put into historical context emphasizing the motivation for ideas as well as their logical and formal development. In Part I the author... Lees meer.

The fundamental ideas concerning computation and recursion naturally find their place at the interface between logic and theoretical computer science. This volume provides a picture of current ideas and methods in the ongoing investigations into the pure mathematical fo... Lees meer.
This volume presents some exciting new developments occurring on the interface between set theory and computability as well as their applications in algebra analysis and topology. These include effective versions of Borel equivalence Borel reducibility and Borel deter... Lees meer.
This book offers a self-contained exposition of the theory of computability in a higher-order context where computable operations may themselves be passed as arguments to other computable operations. This book offers a self-contained exposition of the theory of com... Lees meer.
