Theory of Computation
Theory of Computation. Instructor: Prof. Raghunath Tewari, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, IIT Kanpur. This is an introductory course on Theory of Computation intended for undergraduate students in computer science. In this course we will introduce various models of computation and study their power and limitations. We will also explore the properties of the corresponding language classes defined by these models and the relations between them. We will assume the student is comfortable in analytical reasoning and has preferably done a course on Data Structures and Algorithms. (from nptel.ac.in)
| Lecture 37 - Introduction to Computational Complexity Theory |
In this lecture we introduce time and space complexity of languages decided by Turing machines. We also define the corresponding time and space classes and introduce the complexity classes P and NP.
