Week 1 Adv Theory Comp

The document outlines a course on Theory of Automata and Formal Languages. The course aims to develop an appreciation of the theoretical foundations of computer science through studying mathematical models of computation. Topics covered include regular expressions, finite automata, context-free grammars, pushdown automata, Turing machines, and the Chomsky hierarchy of formal languages. The course has 3 lecture hours and no lab hours, is worth 3 credit hours, and has prerequisites in discrete structures. Required textbooks are listed.

Course Name: Theory of Automata and Formal languages
Course Structure: Lectures: 3 Labs: 0 Credit Hours: 3
Prerequisites: Discrete Structures
Objectives: The course aims to develop an appreciation of the theoretical foundations of
computer science through study of mathematical & abstract models of computers and the
theory of formal languages. Theory of formal languages and use of various abstract machines as
recognizers and parsing will be studied for identifying/validating the synthetic characteristics of
programming languages. Some of the abstract machines shall also study as Transducers.
Course Outline: Finite State Models: Language definitions preliminaries, Regular
expressions/Regular languages, Finite automata (FAs), Transition graphs (TGs), NFAs, Kleenes
theorem, Transducers (automata with output), Pumping lemma and non regular language
Grammars and PDA: Context free grammars, Derivations, derivation trees and ambiguity,
Simplifying CFLs , Normal form grammars and parsing, Decidability, Chomskys hierarchy of
grammars Turing Machines Theory: Turing machines, Post machine, Variations on TM, TM
encoding, Universal Turing Machine, Context sensitive Grammars, Defining Computers by TMs.
