Description

Formal Language and Automata: Finite Automata and RE is a fundamental course in theoretical computer science that delves into the mathematical principles governing computational systems and algorithms. This course is designed for third-year Engineering students, the course provides a structured understanding of formal languages, automata theory, and their significance in defining and influencing computation.The course begins with an introduction to formal languages, and their classifications, focusing on regular languages. Students will explore different ways to represent these languages, such as deterministic finite automata (DFA), non deterministic finite automata (NFA), and regular expressions (RE). Through rigorous analysis, they will understand the computational power of these models and the fundamental equivalence between them. Key topics include minimisation of finite automata, pumping lemma and decision problems associated with regular languages.Beyond theoretical concepts, this course emphasizes practical applications in areas like compiler design, lexical analysis, pattern matching, text processing, and software verification. Students will engage in mathematical proofs, algorithmic problem-solving, and interactive exercises to reinforce their learning.By the end of the course, students will have a solid grasp of computational models, enabling them to design efficient algorithms, comprehend system constraints, and explore advanced topics in artificial intelligence, cryptography, and software engineering.
