Difference between Information theory and Theory of computation

Information theory vs. Theory of computation

Information theory studies the quantification, storage, and communication of information. In theoretical computer science and mathematics, the theory of computation is the branch that deals with how efficiently problems can be solved on a model of computation, using an algorithm.

Similarities between Information theory and Theory of computation

Information theory and Theory of computation have 5 things in common (in Unionpedia): Alan Turing, Claude Shannon, Computer science, Mathematics, String (computer science).

Alan Turing

Alan Mathison Turing (23 June 1912 – 7 June 1954) was an English computer scientist, mathematician, logician, cryptanalyst, philosopher, and theoretical biologist.

Information theory and Theory of computation Comparison

Information theory has 203 relations, while Theory of computation has 68. As they have in common 5, the Jaccard index is 1.85% = 5 / (203 + 68).
