Differential Analytic Turing Automata • Discussion 1

Re: R.J. Lipton and K.W. Regan • Proving Cook’s Theorem Synchronicity Rules❢ I just started reworking an old exposition of mine on Cook’s Theorem, where I borrowed the Parity Function example from Wilf (1986), Algorithms and Complexity, and translated it … Continue reading

The Lambda Point • 1

A note on the title.  From long ago discussions with Harvey Davis, one of my math professors at Michigan State.  I remember telling him of my interest in the place where algebra, geometry, and logic meet, and he quipped, “Ah … Continue reading

How To Succeed In Proof Business Without Really Trying

Re: R.J. Lipton • Surely You Are Joking? Comment 1 Even at the mailroom entry point of propositional calculus, there is a qualitative difference between insight proofs and routine proofs.  Human beings can do either sort, as a rule, but … Continue reading
