We will also study classes of problems that can or can not be solved by computers (limits of computation) as well as how to classify the computable problems according to how efficiently they can be solved (complexity theory). After successful completion of the course, the students are expected to: (i) understand what a model of computation is and understand the main models (ii) be able to analyze whether a problem may have an algorithmic solution or not (iii) know the main complexity classes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PROGRAM<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1.

The possible grades are A (score &gt;= 9.0), B (score &gt;= 7.5 and &lt; 9.0), C (score &gt;= 6.0 and &lt; 7.5), D (failed, score&lt; 6.0) or FF (failed, the student attended less than 75% of the classes).<\/p>\n<p><strong>BIBLIOGRAPHY<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Michael Sipser.
