Synopsis

This unique book presents a comprehensive and rigorous treatment of the theory of computability which is introductory yet self-contained. It takes a novel approach by looking at the subject using computation models rather than a limitation orientation. Accompanying software simulations (on the World Wide Web) of almost all computational models are available for use in conjunction with the text, and numerous examples are provided on the Web in a user-friendly format. Its applications to computer science itself include interesting links to programming language theory, compiler design theory, and algorithm design. The software, numerous examples, and solutions make this book ideal for self-study by computer scientists and mathematicians alike.
