How many commands or instructions are truly necessary to program anything we want, from a simple calculator to a full-fledged operating system?
In this video, we discuss the minimal set of instructions required to achieve universal computation and explore the world of Turing Machines and Turing Completeness.

*Introduction*
Discover the legacy of Alan Turing, the father of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence.
---
*Turing Machines*
► Understand the fundamental components of a Turing Machine: an infinite tape, a read/write head, a finite set of states, and transition rules.
► See a simple addition operation simulated on a Turing Machine.
---
*Turing Completeness*
► Learn about Turing Completeness, the concept that defines a system's ability to perform any computation that a Turing Machine can.
► Learn about its limitations with undecidable problems like the halting problem.
