  1. Formal Languages & Automata

  2. Formal Languages & Automata A formal language: • Is an abstraction of the general characteristics of programming languages. • Consists of a set of symbols and some formation rules by which these symbols can be combined into sentences.

  3. Formal Languages & Automata An automaton: • Is a construct that possesses all the indispensable features of a digital computer. • Accepts input, produces output, may have some temporary storage, and can make decisions in transforming the input into the output.

  4. Formal Languages & Automata An introduction to the fundamental ideas and models underlying computing. • Computational power • Non-computable functions • Computational complexity • Intractable problems

  5. Formal Languages & Automata Some immediate and important applications. • Digital design • Programming languages • Compilers

  6. Formal Languages & Automata Assessment: • Midterm exam: 30% • Final exam: 60% • Presentation & assignments: 10%
