Nice!

If folks would like to learn these ideas by hand via programming, i highly recommend Tom Stuart's Understanding Computation From Simple Machines to Impossible Programs - https://computationbook.com/

My favourite computing book.

Very highly recommended.

Do you have any other favorite recommendations?

Yeah, I’ve also enjoyed greatly the following:

* Computer Science, an interdisciplinary perspective by Robert Sedgewick * Code by Charles Petzold * Good Math by Mark C. Chu-Carroll

Wow, thanks for sharing!

You might also like Algorithmics The Spirit of Computing by the great David Harel (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Harel). The book is accessible to the intelligent general reader (though not a popular science book) and covers its domain rather comprehensively.

I will definitely give it a try.

Genuine thanks again!
