Introduction to Automata Theory, Languages, and Computation

Posted on by

It has been than 20 years since this classic book on formal languages, automata theory, and computational complexity was first published With this long awaited revision, the authors continue to present the theory in a concise and straightforward manner, now with an eye out for the practical applications They have revised this book to make it accessible to today s students, including the addition of material on writing proofs, figures and pictures to convey ideas, side boxes to highlight other interesting material, and a less formal writing style Exercises at the end of each chapter, including some new, easier exercises, help readers confirm and enhance their understanding of the material NEW Completely rewritten to be less formal, providing accessibility to todays students NEW Increased usage of figures and pictures to help convey ideas NEW More detail and intuition provided for definitions and proofs NEW Provides special side boxes to present supplemental material that may be of interest to readers NEW Includes exercises, including many at a lower level NEW Presents program like notation for PDAs and Turing machines NEW Increas Free Download Books Introduction to Automata Theory, Languages, and Computation by John E.
