Theory and Foundations
Overview
The Division of Theory and Foundations (aka FoCS: Foundations of Computer Science Research Group) is a division in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Warwick, one of the leading Computer Science departments in the United Kingdom. Research in FoCS is concerned with various topics of Theoretical Computer Science such as Design and Analysis of Algorithms, Complexity Theory, Logic, Automata and Formal Verification. Our research aims at providing understanding of fundamental problems arising in Computer Science and to design mathematical tools and better algorithms to solve these problems.
