PDF-Turing Machines A denition of computation is needed to study computa tion mathematically

A Turing machine is a primitive yet general computer with an in64257nite tape In each cycle the control unit reads the current tape symbol writes a symbol on the tape moves one position to the left or right and switches to the next state The last th. They provide a precise formal de64257nition of what it means for a function to be computable Many other de64257nitions of computation have been proposed over the years for example one could try to formalize precisely what it means to run a program 14. th.
