  Theory of computation is seen as a branch of both theoretical computer science and modern mathematics (however, it also contains some concepts from pure mathematics). Theory of computation shows how one can effectively solve a problem using a computational model. A number of computational models are described in theory of computation. Algorithm is most common format of computational model. Algorithm is a logical, systematic presentation of the process of problem solution. It theoretically represents the procedure of solving a particular problem. Flowchart is another form of such model of computation. Simply, flowchart is a graphical representation of any algorithm, using various symbols. Each symbol of flowchart represents a particular action. Algorithms and flowcharts possess a strong relation among each other. Yet, theory of computation talks more deeply and descriptively about algorithms and less about flowcharts. 
  Theories, which are too broad, are often divided into sub theories or branches. Such division allows one to approach and learn the theory efficiently. Theory of computation is divided into four main branches. Many people see these branches as individual sub theories (sub theories and branches are both different terms). These main branches/ sub theories are as following:Automata TheoryFormal Language TheoryComputability TheoryComputational Complexity Theory 
  Here, it should be noticed that many theories treat Automata Theory and Formal Language Theory as individual concepts. It is same for vice versa situation. Many treat them as a whole. In this book, they are described as individual concepts. However, you will find many connections between their concepts. The whole structure of computation theory is dedicated to describe the capabilities and limitations of modern computer system; in terms of solving a particular problem, (This process includes various steps and operations). 
  Model of computations are mathematical abstractions of computers and their functionality. These models are used to descriptive studies and researches related to computers and various functions provided by them (capabilities, limitations, etc). These computational models are divided in various types according to the characteristics and results they provide. Turning machine is one of these many models of computations. This model is being referred here since it is arguably the most reasonable and powerful model compared to other computational models. This model has a simple and straightforward structure that is easy to interpret and understand which makes the formulation and analyzing process much easier. Other models consider that infinite memory capacity is essential in order to provide results related to decidable problems. However, turning machine requires only a finite amount of memory in order to solve and provide results for a decidable problem. It means that if a turning model is capable of solving a problem; the very same problem can be solved using any other computer that has a finite amount of available memory. 
  However, some researchers denied the turning model being the most reliable model. They do not deny its functions or capabilities, but they do point out some limitations ignoring the fact that they are yet to be proven practically.

  Lainie Chait was diagnosed with epilepsy in 1991 at the age of 19. At the time of diagnosis, there were three roads to go down - avoidance, acceptance or rebellion.  Avoidance was her first choice. Falling in the shower, brain jerks and muscle twitches when she was 14 was the beginning of something 'not quite right' about her early teenage years. She hid these symptoms from family and friends for three years in the hope that they were just ‘growing pains’.As she started reaching the age of independence (18 in Australia) and started to drink, stay up late and go out partying, these ‘growing pains’ turned into a seizure condition that could no longer be ignored.  Eventually doctors, diagnoses and medicines were brought into the equation.She tried acceptance but at the time it wasn’t the right fit, as the very thought of taming down her young, fun life and replace it with medicine, early nights and mature personal decisions was just too hard to fathom. Rebellion then became her main focus and she achieved this by partying, staying up late and ignoring the triggers. This mindset carried with it an enormous amount of embarrassment and shame.  She constantly felt like a failure after each of the 250+ Grand Mal seizures she endured over 25 years.  But she wasn’t just rebelling against a diagnosis; she was rebelling against a system that has the capacity to make you feel better but at a price that also keeps you in a place of perpetual illness.  She needed to know why she had epilepsy and the only way she was going to find this out was to take herself off all the meds and research it, live it, feel it, document and manage it for herself.She did this much to the horror of her doctors, friends and family.  She went on a journey to get to know her brain and what makes it tick and glitch. The journey was about finding out just how much control she did and didn’t have over her seizures.Electro Girl is Lainie Chait's story of resilience, growth and self advocacy.

  An informative introduction to Darwin's discovery. In his groundbreaking book Natural Selection, Charles Darwin explained his theory that evolution is driven by adaptation of species to their environmental surroundings. From the tiniest microbe to the largest whale, all organisms have changed over vast expanses of time due to the forces of natural selection.  This title in the Science Foundations series provides an overview of the processes and causes that drive natural selection and the principles that explain how it operates, using numerous diverse organisms as examples. Natural Selection promotes a solid understanding of how organisms change over the course of generations and how current biodiversity came to be. The book is published by Chelsea House Publishers, a leading publisher of educational material.
