The complexity of theorem-proving procedures

TL;DR: It is shown that any recognition problem solved by a polynomial time-bounded nondeterministic Turing machine can be “reduced” to the problem of determining whether a given propositional formula is a tautology.

Theory of Recursive Functions and Effective Computability.

TL;DR: Central concerns of the book are related theories of recursively enumerable sets, of degree of un-solvability and turing degrees in particular and generalizations of recursion theory.
Book

Computation: Finite and Infinite Machines

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an abstract theory that categorically and systematically describes what all these machines can do and what they cannot do, giving sound theoretical or practical grounds for each judgment, and the abstract theory tells us in no uncertain terms that the machines' potential range is enormous and that its theoretical limitations are of the subtlest and most elusive sort.

A decision method for elementary algebra and geometry

Alfred Tarski
TL;DR: A decision method for a class K of sentence (or other expressions) is meant a method by means of which, given any sentence θ, one can always decide in a finite number of steps whether θ is in K; by a decision problem for K, we mean the problem of finding a decision algorithm for K.
