This course may be unavailable.

Overview

Automata, Languages and Computation have been an important part of the curriculum in computer science department for several decades.The automata theory is the study of abstract machines and theirapplication in solving computational problems. Automata is a major part of this course, and is explained elaborately throughout in easily comprehensible ways. Besides providing students with a detailedintroduction to the theories related to computer science, this course also fully covers mathematical preliminaries which are essential to computation.
