This new edition comes with Gradiance, an online assessment tool developed for computer science. Please note, Gradiance is no longer available with this book, as we no longer support this product.
Formal languages and automata theory is the study of abstract machines and how these can be used for solving problems. The book has a simple and exhaustive approach to topics like automata theory, formal languages and theory of computation.
Introduction to Automata Theory, Languages and Computation: For VTU, 3/e
The book has a simplistic approach to topics like automata theory, formal languages and theory of computation and explains them exhaustively.
The book also examines the underlying theory and principles of computation and is highly suitable to the undergraduate courses in computer science and information technology.
A distinctive feature of this text is its gentle and gradual introduction of the necessary mathematical tools in the context in which they are used.
An Introduction to Formal Languages & Automata provides an excellent presentation of the material that is essential to an introductory theory of computation course. The text was designed to familiarize...
Introduction to Automata Theory, Languages and Computation
We must show that any sufficiently long string .9 in A can be pumped and remain in A. The idea behind this approach is simple. Let s be a very long string in A. (We make clear later what we mean by “very long.”) Because 8 is in A, ...
This Third Edition, in response to the enthusiastic reception given by academia and students to the previous edition, offers a cohesive presentation of all aspects of theoretical computer science, namely automata, formal languages, ...
