What is The annotated turing by Charles Petzoid, Publisher Wiley, 2008 about?
The Turing machine is a theoretical model of computation that is typically studied as part of a theoretical computer science class at the undergraduate level. Such a course typically introduces fundamental theoretical computer science concepts including several formal models of computation and their associated languages. Most often included are finite state automata and regular languages, push-down automata and context-free grammars. Such classes typically culminate with an introduction to Turing machines. While a significant amount of time is spent on the definition of a Turing machine, and a discussion of its computational power, most students rarely take the time to read Alan Turing's original 1936 paper that, in many ways, provides the theoretical underpinnings for modern Computer Science. Perhaps this can be attributed to the paper's complexity, questionable organization, and confusing terminology. While the paper is central to modern computer science, more modern, succinct treatments, such as those found in standard textbooks provide a significantly gentler introduction to the area. Petzold's goal in this book is to bring the original Turing paper to the (computer science) ma
