Computation and its Limits is an innovative cross-disciplinary
investigation of the relationship between computing and physical
reality. It begins by exploring the mystery of why mathematics is
so effective in science and seeks to explain this in terms of the
modelling of one part of physical reality by another. Going from
the origins of counting to the most blue-skies proposals for novel
methods of computation, the authors investigate the extent to which
the laws of nature and of logic constrain what we can compute. In
the process they examine formal computability, the thermodynamics
of computation and the promise of quantum computing.
