The foundation of computer science is built upon the following
questions: What is an algorithm? What can be computed and what
cannot be computed? What does it mean for a function to be
computable? How does computational power depend upon programming
constructs? Which algorithms can be considered feasible? For more
than 70 years, computer scientists are searching for answers to
such qu- tions. Their ingenious techniques used in answering these
questions form the theory of computation. Theory of computation
deals with the most fundamental ideas of computer s- ence in an
abstract but easily understood form. The notions and techniques
employed are widely spread across various topics and are found in
almost every branch of c- puter science. It has thus become more
than a necessity to revisit the foundation, learn the techniques,
and apply them with con?dence. Overview and Goals This book is
about this solid, beautiful, and pervasive foundation of computer
s- ence. It introduces the fundamental notions, models, techniques,
and results that form the basic paradigms of computing. It gives an
introduction to the concepts and mathematics that computer
scientists of our day use to model, to argue about, and to predict
the behavior of algorithms and computation. The topics chosen here
have shown remarkable persistence over the years and are very much
in current use.
