200 Problems on Languages, Automata, and Computation Summary

200 Problems on Languages, Automata, and Computation by Filip Murlak (University of Warsaw)

Formal languages and automata have long been fundamental to theoretical computer science, but students often struggle to understand these concepts in the abstract. This book provides a rich source of compelling exercises designed to help students grasp the subject intuitively through practice. The text covers important topics such as finite automata, regular expressions, push-down automata, grammars, and Turing machines via a series of problems of increasing difficultly. Problems are organised by topic, many with multiple follow-ups, and each section begins with a short recap of the basic notions necessary to make progress. Complete solutions are given for all exercises, making the book well suited for self-study as well as for use as a course supplement. Developed over the course of the editors' two decades of experience teaching the acclaimed Automata, Formal Languages, and Computation course at the University of Warsaw, it is an ideal resource for students and instructors alike.

200 Problems on Languages, Automata, and Computation Reviews

'This book is just enormously fun. One can pick it up and quickly get lost in a fascinating problem. It's a book I would keep on my bookshelf and reach for when I have an exceptionally bright student I wish to challenge.' Anuj Dawar, University of Cambridge
'The book is a perfect companion for students and teachers in Languages, Automata, and Computation. It is written by leading experts in the field. The book is a pleasure to read and a sparkling source for significant problems of various levels of difficulty. The solutions are elegant and worked out in detail.' Volker Diekert, University of Stuttgart
