TheoreticalCS is an interactive educational platform designed to make theoretical computer science concepts accessible and engaging. Our mission is to provide intuitive, visual tools that help students, educators, and enthusiasts explore and understand fundamental computational models.
We believe that interactive visualization and hands-on experimentation are powerful ways to learn abstract concepts. Our tools allow users to see these models in action, experiment with different inputs, and gain deeper insights into the theoretical foundations of computer science.
Visualize and simulate Turing machines, the theoretical foundation for all modern computers.
Explore context-free languages through interactive pushdown automata simulations.
Understand functional programming's theoretical basis through lambda calculus evaluation.
Theoretical computer science provides the mathematical foundation for understanding what computers can and cannot do. It helps us reason about algorithm efficiency, computational complexity, and the fundamental limits of computation.
By studying these theoretical models, we gain insights that inform practical computer science, from programming language design to algorithm development and artificial intelligence.
TheoreticalCS is an open educational resource. We welcome contributions, suggestions, and feedback from the community. Whether you're a student, educator, or enthusiast, there are many ways to get involved:
