Computability Theory I (MATH 30200)

Prerequisites: Math 25500 or consent of instructor

Catalog Description: We investigate recursive (such as computable) functions and sets generated by an algorithm (recursively enumerable sets). Topics include various mathematical models for computations, including Turing machines and Kleene schemata; enumeration and s-m-n theorems; and priority methods for the construction of recursively enumerable sets and degrees.
