Abstract

MyTuringTable is a Turing Machine simulator designed to help students read and understand Turing's seminal 1937 paper on computability. We discuss our reasons for developing the tool, and report on its use in a "Great Ideas in Computer Science" course for the Air Force Academy Cadet Scholars program.
