Abstract: In the first half of this talk, I will talk about the halting problem and show that there are well defined functions f:N->N that no computable function can dominate. In the second half, I will introduce Kolmogorov complexity and present Chaitin's Incompleteness theorem. If time permits, I will also show a proof of Goodstein's theorem.
