Prerequisites
The topics require some preliminary knowledge, so it is necessary for each student to familiarize themselves with the content of the course Theory of Languages and Automata I.
Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is offered to students of any study field.
Course objectives
Basic theorems of the classical formal language theory. We put emphasis to basic algorithms and proof techniques.
Learning outcomes
Students will be able to: - define important concepts of theoretical computer science - using abstract computational models - apply the acquired knowledge on concrete examples.
