Model of computation

A model of computation is a formal way to describe how computations are performed, typically using mathematical principles. Think of it as a framework or blueprint that defines how problems are solved using algorithms and data. It includes concepts like machines (e.g., Turing machines) and formulas that specify the rules for processing information. Different models can represent various computing systems, helping us understand their capabilities, limitations, and efficiency. Essentially, these models help researchers and developers study and compare how different computing methods work, guiding advancements in computer science and technology.
