Current:

CS 41000- Automata and Computability.

Prerequisite(s): CS 27500 FOR LEVEL UG WITH MIN GRADE of D and CS #)()) FOR LEVEL UG WITH MIN GRADE of D.

Credit hours: 3.00. Course pattern: 3-0-3.

A finite automaton is a mathematical model for a computational system. Computer science embodies many examples of finite state systems. This course will cover the basic principles of deterministic and non-deterministic finite automata, Turing machines, formal language theory, regular expressions, context-free grammars, the halting problem, and un-solvability

Typically offered Fall Spring Summer.
