51The Fabric of Reality — is a 1997 book by physicist David Deutsch, which expands upon his views of quantum mechanics and its meanings for understanding reality.This interpretation, or what he calls the multiverse hypothesis, is one strand of a four strand theory of… …
52Post–Turing machine — The article Turing machine gives a general introduction to Turing machines, while this article covers a specific class of Turing machines. A Post–Turing machine is a program formulation of an especially simple type of Turing machine, comprising a …
53Massachusetts Institute of Technology School of Engineering — The MIT School of Engineering is one of the five schools of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA. Generally considered having one of the best engineering programs in the world[1][2][3], the school… …
54Bernoulli number — In mathematics, the Bernoulli numbers Bn are a sequence of rational numbers with deep connections to number theory. They are closely related to the values of the Riemann zeta function at negative integers. There are several conventions for… …
55Genetic algorithm — A genetic algorithm (GA) is a search heuristic that mimics the process of natural evolution. This heuristic is routinely used to generate useful solutions to optimization and search problems. Genetic algorithms belong to the larger class of… …
56Denotational semantics — In computer science, denotational semantics (initially known as mathematical semantics or Scott–Strachey semantics) is an approach to formalizing the meanings of programming languages by constructing mathematical objects (called denotations)… …
57Post correspondence problem — The Post correspondence problem is an undecidable decision problem that was introduced by Emil Post in 1946.[1] Because it is simpler than the halting problem and the Entscheidungsproblem it is often used in proofs of undecidability. Contents 1… …
58Register machine — In mathematical logic and theoretical computer science a register machine is a generic class of abstract machines used in a manner similar to a Turing machine. All the models are Turing equivalent. Contents 1 Overview 2 Formal definition 3 …
59automata theory — Body of physical and logical principles underlying the operation of any electromechanical device (an automaton) that converts information input in one form into another, or into some action, according to an algorithm. Norbert Wiener and Alan M.… …
