The Computational complexity theory page is a lot better than this one. Maybe they should be merged? Or are there more branches of CS theory than just complexity? (Maybe I should be asking this question anonymously... but I did get an "A" in theory and it seemed mostly about complexity at the time.)--Joanna Bryson (talk) 09:09, 4 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Well, at the very least TCS also includes computability theory and algorithms, which are outside complexity theory. --Robin (talk) 15:00, 4 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

@Brirush: This article includes several references to "Rogers 1987", but it doesn't include the author's full name or the title of the work that was cited. Where is the rest of the information for these citations? Jarble (talk) 15:03, 2 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
