Theoretical computer science explores the foundations of computation and information processing. It seeks to understand the limits of what can be computed, the efficiency of algorithms, and the nature of complexity. This field has deep connections to mathematics and logic, and it provides the intellectual underpinnings for advances in areas such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, cryptography, high-performance computing, and distributed computing. Furthermore, it has strong interdisciplinary ties to mathematics, economics, information theory, physics, engineering, and biology. Advances in theory drive innovation in technologies shaping the world. From the algorithms that power the internet, artificial networks that power machine learning models to the cryptographic protocols that secure our online transactions, the impact of theoretical computer science is profound and far-reaching.
