Synopsis
Richard P. Feynman's lectures on computation, which he gave at Caltech from 1983 to 1986, give the 'Feynman treatment' to subjects such as computability, Turing machines and information theory. Taken as a whole, they explore the potential and fundamental limitations of digital computers. Feynman's philosophy of learning and discovery comes through strongly in these lectures. They provide a unique insight into Feynman's exemplary way of working.
