FLAT Curriculum

CS3L001 is a course on Formal Language and Automata Theory taught in the autumn 2017 semester at IIT Bhubaneswar. It will cover topics including grammars, Chomsky's hierarchy, finite state automata, context-free grammars, pushdown automata, Turing machines, and the relationships between formal languages and models of computation. The course will have lectures on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays and will be evaluated based on internal assessments, a midterm exam, and an end-term exam. Students are expected to maintain satisfactory attendance as per institute policy.
