12 February 2021, Philosophy of Mathematics (Φ-Math) Reading Group, Pieter Adriaans
The P vs. NP problem, one of the seven Millenium Problems, is one of the most relevant unsolved questions in theoretical computer science. The progress in the last decade, however, has been little. Can information theory and philosophy of information provide new insights as to why these classes should be distinct (or the same)? Pieter Adriaans will be offering a talk on the subject, followed by a discussion.
