The hidden history of Alan Turing is just a particularly bizarre example — one we can expect to become much better known during the 2012 centenary of his birth. The mental check-list of things

P v/s NP Problem

P v/s NP Problem

[Editor’s Note: This is the next part in our series on the Millennium Problems.] This is a problem in the area of computational complexity which deals with efficiency of algorithms. An alphabet A is a finite nonempty set of symbols and a computational problem over A is simply a
