Abstract: Computability theory, which investigates computable functions and computable sets, lies at the foundation of logic and computer science. Symbolic Logic}, FJOURNAL = {The Journal of Symbolic Logic}, VOLUME = {65}, YEAR = {2000}, NUMBER = {2}, PAGES = {567--604}, We extend in a natural way the operation of Turing machines to infinite ordinal time, and investigate the resulting supertask theory of computability and decidability on the reals. For the statements (7)-(11) above will all be found in various mathematics textbooks (called, e.g., A Mathematical Introduction to Logic, Computability and Logic, and so on), used in mathematics courses. I'll be teaching logic to graduate students in philosophy this coming semester. @article {HamkinsLewis2000:InfiniteTimeTM, AUTHOR = {Hamkins, Joel David and Lewis, Andy}, TITLE = {Infinite time {T}uring machines}, JOURNAL = {J. Its classical presentations usually involve a fair amount of Goedel encodings. Jeffrey Publisher: Cambridge University Press. There is a difference of emphasis, however. I sat in Soare's class in the hope some of the techniques in computability would help my research in complexity (for the most part they haven't) and have gone to a few logic seminars. Jerome Keisler et al.'s (1996) Mathematical Logic and Computability. Everything I do they call "zero.". The study of computability theory in computer science is closely related to the study of computability in mathematical logic.
