M. Fernández Models of Computation An Introduction to Computability Theory
Series: Undergraduate Topics in Computer Science
▶ Provides an in-depth analysis of the basic concepts underlying the models of computation that underpin the most well-known families of programming languages
An Introduction to Computability Theory provides an introduction to the essential concepts in computability, using several models of computation, from Turing machines to the modern computation models inspired by quantum physics. It is addressed to advanced undergraduate students, as a complement to programming courses, or to postgraduate students interested in foundations of computation and the theory of 2009, XI, 184 p. computability.
There are two parts in the book. The first highlights the traditional models of computation Printed book used in the first studies on computability:
