Theory of Computation offers a rigorous mathematical framework that underpins our understanding of what can be computed and how efficiently these computations may be performed. It encompasses ...

Graph theory has long provided a robust mathematical framework for investigating networks, relations and connectivity in both abstract and applied settings. Recent advances have markedly refined our ...

Physicists and computer scientists have recently expanded the modern theory of the thermodynamics of computation. By combining approaches from statistical physics and computer science, the researchers ...

Soon after it was released a few short years ago, I began to delve into Steven Wolfram's new book, "A Fundamental Theory of Physics." I have followed his work since the early '90s when I first used ...

In conventional computing, we can draw a clean line between software and hardware. In brains, there is no such separation of different scales. In the brain, everything influences everything else, from ...

Ilya Volkovich is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Boston College. Before joining Boston College he taught courses in the theory of computation at the University of Michigan and Princeton ...

Computer science, at its most fundamental, is all about inputs and outputs. Consider the simple case of multiplying two numbers on a pocket calculator. You punch in some inputs — the specific numbers ...
