Church's Thesis After 70 Years / / ed. by Adam Olszewski, Jan Wolenski, Robert Janusz.

Church's Thesis (CT) was first published by Alonzo Church in 1935. CT is a proposition that identifies two notions: an intuitive notion of a effectively computable function defined in natural numbers with the notion of a recursive function. Despite of the many efforts of prominent scientists, C...
