Why finiteness counts

Posted on 2011 January 20 by modelpractice

To study computation we need a theory of finite structures. Neil Immerman’s quotation, illustrated by Hilbert’s hotel. Continue reading →

Sooo big? Sorry, I’m not impressed.

Posted on 2010 July 8 by modelpractice

As a computer scientist, my business is the structure (complexity) of things. So I don’t care too much about size … Continue reading →
