The story.
From the ice cream dispenser at the shop around the corner
to your smart phone: most mechanical and electronic devices
we use today can be viewed as machines that process some
input and output something in response. They differ vastly,
however, in the capabilities they have regarding reading
(can I read the input only once? or as often as I
like?), processing (am I equipped with some memory
allowing me to take notes? how many notes can I take?),
and outputting (can I go back and make corrections to
the result? or are responses immediately consumed by the
recipient?).
The course. You will learn the foundations of the power of various computational devices.
