About this title

Synopsis

The fundamental ideas concerning computation and recursion naturally find their place at the interface between logic and theoretical computer science. The contributions in this book provide a picture of current ideas and methods in the ongoing investigations into the structure of the computable and noncomputable universe. A number of the articles contain introductory and background material that will make the volume an invaluable resource for mathematicians and computer scientists.

From the Back Cover

The fundamental ideas concerning computation and recursion naturally find their place at the interface between logic and theoretical computer science. The contributions in this book, by leaders in the field, provide a picture of current ideas and methods in the ongoing investigations into the pure mathematical foundations of computability theory. The topics range over computable functions, enumerable sets, degree structures, complexity, subrecursiveness, domains and inductive inference. A number of the articles contain introductory and background material which it is hoped will make this volume an invaluable resource.
