Instruction Sequences for Computer Science

"Instruction Sequences for Computer Science" is a specialized book that offers an innovative approach to analyzing topics in computer science. It examines the role of instruction sequences and their significance in various areas, including computation theory and computer architecture. The authors, Cornelis A. Middelburg and Jan A. Bergstra, illuminate complex issues such as the halting problem and non-uniform computational complexity, which are typically addressed through models like Turing machines and Boolean circuits. Furthermore, the performance of instruction sequences and the architecture of instruction sets are thoroughly analyzed, a topic often inadequately covered in the literature. This book is aimed at professionals and students who wish to develop a deeper understanding of the theoretical and practical aspects of instruction sequences in computer science.
