Hence, a computable function is a function that has a Turing machine to compute it. This may seem like a circuitous way to define computability, but it’s the best we’ve got. “It’s not like you have a ...

In 1936, Turing introduced the idea of a theoretical computing machine that would later become known as the Turing machine. All the essential functions required for universal computation are ...

The Turing machine was a prophetic vision of modern computers. While your laptop doesn’t rely on tape to run programs, the philosophy behind it is the same. “That laid the foundation for ...
