    Theory of Computation

    • The main focus of the theory of computation is to study the fundamental limits of computation, the resources required to perform computation, and the different models of computation.

    Turing Machines

    • Turing machines are a central model of computation in the theory of computation, introduced by Alan Turing in the 1930s.
    • The significance of Turing machines lies in their ability to simulate the behavior of any computer algorithm, making them a universal model of computation.

    Centrality of Computability

    • The concept of computability is central to the theory of computation, as it deals with the question of whether a problem can be solved by a computer or not.
