F2021 CS 411/811 Lecture 30: Encoding Turing Machines & Introduction to Universal Turing Machines 🖥️

Today we seen how we can encode a Turing Machine, a bit about universal Turing machines, universalism, and then set up things for proving that the diagonalization cannot be recognized by any Turing Machine (we will prove this properly next class)
