COMPUTABILITY THEORY Paperback – 1 January 2016

Excellent introduction to Computability - with many insights that would take many months / years to realise throughout the text (eg p105 on explanation of Godel incompleteness - based upon the insight at the bottom of p102 - pure gold !). I started computability reading "Computability and Randomness" by A. Nies - which is very dense for a beginner and moved over to this book by R. Weber, who very nicely expands out the more complex features. There are many exercises (without solutions) but despit being a beginner I found that they were readily answerable with a little thought and consolidated understanding - or showed a gap that needed filling - so dont skip them !. Overall its a shame a good communicator in mathematics has moved out of the academic field into industry - more maths books like Rebecca Weber's would be much appreciated !

I studied maths over 10 years ago and hadn’t really looked at it since - till I read this book. What a pleasure I had in reading it. Profound results expressed in such a clear way.

This book started out seeming to be perfect! Very informational and professionally written. I had trouble following some of the material as the course went on, and this book wasn't too great at helping supplement the information. Difficult topic, but lacking in detail for some topics.
