I bought this book and the title is misleading.
The book should be called Mathematics and Theory of computation
- xdavidliu 11mo agois there a more accepted connotation of the lone word "computation" that means something different from "theory of computation" (in the sense of turing machines, computability, decidability, complexity classes, Sipser) etc?
- jlarcombe 11mo agothe Oxford joint schools degree was called "Mathematics and Computation" for many, many years
- chihuahua 11mo agoI got the impression that they thought computer science was a fad that was going to go away soon.
- jlarcombe 11mo agoYes I remember your comment to that effect on the last thread that touched on this topic! From memory I think I was ten years after you and either I had different expectations or the course had changed radically because I had a much more positive experience.
