- Course objectives
- The basic themes of the course are abstract machines, formal grammars and languages, the notion of computability and complexity of automata, languages and computation. The behavior of individual objects and phenomena and the consequences of collaboration collective behavior of objects will be discussed. Students will become familiar with the Turing machine, pushdown automaton and finite automaton, relatiton between machines and formal grammars. The subject of study will also limit access to machine a generative approach to solving a related concept (un) decidability.
- Learning outcomes
- Upon completion of the course the student will be able to:
- explain the difference between generative and machine approaches to problem solving;
- define types of Chomsky grammars;
- associate the types of languages with a machine that recognizes them;
- analyze the behavior of both grammars and machines; - Syllabus
