Synopsis
This book invites the reader to explore abstractions that are crucial to computer science. The authors bring a sense of excitement to logics, formal languages and automata—motivating topics by linking them to computing and to computational applications, sometime with whole chapters. They achieve exceptional clarity through a plethora of examples and figures, yet without-losing sight of, and indeed celebrating, the precision that is the hallmark of this subject matter. Features of the book application of logic to program verification programming in the logic language, Prolog discussion of "why" and "how" to prove things relationships between English and programming languages diagrams-first approach to automata lex as a tool and an extension of formal language pushdown automata as parsing strategies Turing machines as models of computation

This book invites the reader to explore abstractions that are crucial to computer science. The authors bring a sense of excitement to logics, formal languages and automata—motivating topics by linking them to computing and to computational applications, sometime with whole chapters.

Features of the book include:- application of logic to program verification
- programming in the logic language, Prolog
- discussion of "why" and "how" to prove things
- relationships between English and programming languages
- diagrams-first approach to automata
- lex as a tool and an extension of formal language
- pushdown automata as parsing strategies
- Turing machines as models of computation
From the Inside Flap
This is a textbook for a Theory of Computation course; it is designed for undergraduates but at many colleges/universities it can be used for a graduate course. In particular, it is distinguished by a strong emphasis on Logic, spending several chapters on the subject rather than the typical 10-page treatment. It presents the primary topics of a Theory course, automata theory, formal languages, and computability.
