Computation is a familiar concept most of us understand intuitively.Take the function f() = + 3. When x is three, f(3) = 3 + 3. Six.Easy.It seems obvious that this function is computable.But some functions aren't so simple, and it's not so easy to determine if they can be computed, meaning they may never give us a final answer.
