The Theory of Computation is a branch of computer science that explores the fundamental capabilities and limitations of computers. It examines what problems can be solved using algorithms and how efficiently they can be solved. This field includes concepts such as automata theory, which studies abstract machines, and formal languages, which define the syntax and semantics of programming languages. Another key area within the Theory of Computation is computability theory, which investigates which problems can be computed and which cannot. It also includes complexity theory, which classifies problems based on the resources required for their solution, such as time and space. Together, these topics help us understand the limits of computation and the efficiency of algorithms.
