I grew up in the PC and Internet era, have programmed in all the languages mentioned here and many many more, at some point became a theoretical computer scientist, and continue to be actively involved in theoretical and applied CS research I personally hate when CS is introduced through a programming class; as others have said, not only is this often tedious, it gives the impression that computer science is -only- programming, and that there are no big ideas. (This started, by the way, with me thinking about why the textbook on my table, “Languages and Machines“, is subtitled “An Introduction to the Theory of Computer Science”). Laszlo Kozma asked the following question: Is finding the minimum regular expression an NP complete problem? Sometimes a compiler doesn't exist. Next semester will start in 2012 with 9 classes. A compiler is a short program that translates between computer languages or, in this case, between machines. Wouldn't it be nice if determining .. Maybe I'm not saying anything non-obvious. Still others think you should generally agree with the scientific consensus until it is disproved. Introduction to finite state machine Finite state machines as models of physical system equivalence machines, Finite state machines as language recognizers. Languages and Machines: An Introduction to the Theory of Computer Science (3rd Edition) Reviews. This did not take up too much time because I presented alot of it as more examples of regular languages. As is so often the case in computer science, practice comes before theory, and often long before. The third edition of Languages and Machines: An Introduction to the Theory of Computer Science provides readers with a mathematically sound presentation of the theory of computer science. But history has proven that it doesn't take long before such theories and models change the world, as quantum mechanics did with modern electronics. For instance, Stanford Engineering professors are setting out to add a new level of interactivity to online education by offering some of the university's most popular computer science classes for free. Available classes are CS 101, Saas, Human Computer Interaction, NLP, Game Theory, Probabilistic Graphical Models, Cryptography, Design and Analysis of Algorithms and Computer Security. It also serves as a good introduction to one of the classic areas of learning theory.
