Yan S. An Introduction to Formal Languages and Machine Computation 1996

Textbook in PDF and DJVU formats

This book provides an elementary introduction to formal languages and machine computation. The materials covered include computation-oriented mathematics, finite automata and regular languages, push-down automata and context-free languages, Turing machines and recursively enumerable languages, and computability and complexity. As integers are important in mathematics and computer science, the book also contains a chapter on number-theoretic computation. The book is intended for university computing and mathematics students and computing professionals
