An Introduction to Formal Languages and Automata

An Introduction to Formal Languages and Automata, Seventh Edition is designed for an introductory course on formal languages, automata, computability, and related matters forming what is known as the theory of computation. The text takes a problem-solving approach, in which students' abilities are tested at various levels. The Seventh Edition familiarizes students with the foundations and principles of computer science, teaches material useful in subsequent courses, and strengthens students' ability to carry out formal and rigorous mathematical arguments. Key Features: New Introductory Exercises to bridge concepts to more difficult exercises Chapters 1-14 of the sixth edition, with the new exercises, are now reorganized as Part I: Theory

About the Author
Linz, Peter: - Peter Linz, Professor Emeritus, University of California, Davis Peter Linz is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Computer Science at the University of California, Davis. Linz received his Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin. Professor Linz's research emphasizes the development of a theory of numerical analysis that can be used in the construction of reliable numerical methods used in the design of problem-solving environments for scientific computing. Linz has released the fourth edition of An Introduction to Formal Languages and Automata, as well as Exploring Numerical Methods: An Introduction to Scientific Computing.Rodger, Susan H.: - Susan H. Rodger is Associate Professor of the Practice of Computer Science at Duke University. She received her B.S. degree from North Carolina State University in Computer Science and Mathematics. She received her Ph.D. in 1989 from Purdue University. Before coming to Duke, she was an Assistant Professor at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute from 1989-1994. Professor Rodger is the author of numerous computer science education articles including twelve SIGCSE papers, and has been a Principal Investigator on seven National Science Foundation grants, four of which were related to JFLAP. She has run over ten workshops for college faculty and high school teachers on various topics from JFLAP to Interactive and Visual Tools to AP Computer Science. She was on the Advanced Placement Computer Science Development Committee from 1995-2001, and was Chair from 1997-2000.
