I know plenty about computability, and found this to be a fun read. Especially since when being taught it my teachers didn’t spend the time going over the biographies of the people involved.
- ProfHewitt 5y agoHistory of the people involved is indeed very interesting. Particularly recommend the BBC2 film "Dangerous Knowledge". BTW: The article "Turing Uncomputability" got some of the history wrong about the 1930 interaction between von Neumann and Gödel. See the following: Jan von Plato.
