Do you know a book like this? Sounds interesting to me as someone who is very interested in computing, but never went to university.
Specifically "mathematically explaining what it means to compute, and building up to the abstraction of a Turing machine"
Thanks
- pugio 5y agoTake a look at: Understanding Computation: From Simple Machines to Impossible Programs by Tom Stuart. It's pretty much "computation theory for the everyday programmer". It uses Ruby to implement things like Turing Machines and the lambda calculus. Extremely accessible, and a lot of fun.
