Overview

This book gives an introduction to theories of computability from a mathematically sophisticated point of view. It treats not only the theory of computability (created by Alan Turing and others in the 1930s), but also a variety of other theories (of Boolean functions, automata and formal languages). Particular attention is given to the underlying mathematical structures. Each topic is taken from the beginning and developed to a point at which the most recent results can be appreciated. This authoritative, up-to-date account by one of the leading lights of the subject will be required reading for graduate students researchers in theoretical computer science and mathematics.
