I am working on improving this text during the summer of 2018. My main priorities are:
-
Add explanations, proof ideas, examples.
-
Add exercises
-
Emphasize the "non importance" of the choice of particular models (NAND vs circuits, NAND++/NAND<< vs Turing machines/ RAM machines).
-
Write two chapters: space bounded computation and proofs and programs.
