Stephen Cook
Stephen Arthur Cook (1939, Búfalo (Nueva York)) es un reconocido científico de la computación. Cook formalizó el concepto de NP-completitud en un famoso artículo de 1971 titulado «The Complexity of Theorem Proving Procedures» («La complejidad de los procedimientos de demostración de teoremas»), donde también formuló el problema de la relación entre las clases de complejidad P y NP. Cook recibió el Premio Turing en 1982 por su descubrimiento: Por su avance en nuestra comprensión de la complejidad computacional de un modo significativo y profundo. Su artículo pionero, The Complexity of Theorem Proving Procedures, presentado en el ACM SIGACT Symposium on the Theory of Computing de 1971, sentó los cimientos de la teoría de NP-completitud. La exploración de los límites de la clase de complejidad NP-completo ha sido una de las actividades investigadoras más activas e importantes en las ciencias de la computación durante la última década.
