Computability
Information and Randomness: An Algorithmic Perspective (Texts in Theoretical Computer Science. An EATCS ...
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 ...
Automata, Computability and Complexity: Theory and Applications
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 ...
Computability Theory (Chapman Hall/Crc Mathematics Series)
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 ...
The Annotated Turing: A Guided Tour Through Alan Turing's Historic Paper on Computability and the Turing ...
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 ...
Computability, Complexity and Languages (Computer Science & Applied Mathematics)
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 ...
Computability and Logic
George S. Boolos
,
John P. Burgess
, ...
Cambridge University Press
, 2007
Computability and Logic has become a classic because of its accessibility to students without a mathematical background and because it covers not simply the staple topics of an intermediate logic course, such as Godel's incompleteness theorems, but also a large number of optional topics, from Turing's theory of computability to Ramsey's theorem. ...
Computability and Unsolvability (Mcgraw-Hill Series in Information Processing and Computers.)
Martin Davis
Dover Publications
, 1985
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' ...
Computability: An Introduction to Recursive Function Theory
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 ...
Discrete Structures, Logic, and Computability, Second Edition (Jones & Bartlett Computer Science)
James L. Hein
Jones and Bartlett Publishers, Inc.
, 2002
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. ...
Automata and Computability (Undergraduate Texts in Computer Science)
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 ...
Handbook of Computability Theory (Studies in Logic and the Foundations of Mathematics)
North Holland
, 1999
The chapters of this volume all have their own level of presentation. The topics have been chosen based on the active research interest associated with them. Since the interest in some topics is older than that in others, some presentations contain fundamental definitions and basic results while others relate very little of the elementary theory ...
Theory of Recursive Functions and Effective Computability
Hartley Rogers
The MIT Press
, 1987
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 ...
Computability Theory, Semantics, and Logic Programming (Oxford Logic Guides)
Melvin Fitting
Oxford University Press, USA
, 1987
This book describes computability theory and provides an extensive treatment of data structures and program correctness. It makes accessible some of the author's work on generalized recursion theory, particularly the material on the logic programming language PROLOG, which is currently of great interest. Fitting considers the relation of PROLOG ...
Grammatical Picture Generation: A Tree-Based Approach (Texts in Theoretical Computer Science. An EATCS Series)
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 ...
Computability and Logic
George S. Boolos
,
John P. Burgess
, ...
Cambridge University Press
, 2002
Without doubt the one to go for
This is a classic and an absolute must for anyone required (or wanting) to gain insight into intermediate logic. A more accessible (and yet more comprehensive) introduction is simply not available. The first part introduces basic concepts of computation, the second ...
