Course Description:

 The theoretical foundations of computer science have expanded substantially in recent years. The objective of this course is to introduce students to this fundamental area of computer science which enables students to focus on the study of abstract models of computation. These abstract models allow the students to assess via formal reasoning what could be achieved through computing when they are using it to solve problems in science and engineering. The course exposes students to the computability theory, as well as to the complexity theory. The goal is to allow them to answer fundamental questions about problems, such as whether they can or not be computed, and if they can, how efficiently.
