Automata and formal languages 06-ZAUTLI0
The aim of the course is to present the theory of formal languages and automata in a rigid, mathematical way as a branch of theoretical computer science. On the other hand, the course introduces and discusses notions and results which now form a part of an elementary knowledge of a working computer scientist. The course can serve as a basis for further, advanced theoretical study in e.g. computability theory or theory of computational complexity, or in a wide range of applications, e.g. in computational linguistics. Lab sessions provide a link between theoretical knowledge and programming practice.
