About Course

Theory of Computation is a core computer science course that studies the mathematical foundations of computation. It introduces concepts such as Finite Automata, Regular Expressions, Context-Free Grammars, Pushdown Automata, and Turing Machines, which are used to model and analyze computational problems. The course helps students understand the capabilities and limitations of computers, formal language processing, and problem-solving techniques that form the basis of compiler design, artificial intelligence, and advanced computing systems.

What Will You Learn?

  • Design Finite Automata to recognize and process regular languages and patterns.
  • Analyze Formal Languages and Grammars using regular expressions, regular grammars, and context-free grammars.
  • Develop Pushdown Automata and Turing Machine Models to solve computational problems and language-processing tasks.
  • Understand Computability and Decidability, including recursive languages, the Halting Problem, and undecidable problems.
  • Apply Mathematical and Logical Reasoning to determine the capabilities and limitations of computing systems.
