Theory of Computation is a Computer Science course in the CTY program. Its course code is TCOM, and it is offered only at Lancaster and only first session.
Course Description
TCOM focuses on the theoretical aspects of computing.
Course History
TCOM split off from CPS1 in 2001, and CPS1 became defunct.
(from the CTY website:) The theory of computation is the mathematical study of the power and limits of
computing. In this class, we study idealized machines that serve as theoretical
computers. Because these machines are mathematical objects, we can prove theorems
about them, applying those theorems to understand the strengths and limitations of
actual computers.
