It is with great pleasure that we present this lecture notes on "Theory of
Computation," meticulously prepared to cater to the academic needs of 5th
semester BE students across various streams such as Computer Science and
Engineering (CSE), Information Science and Engineering (ISE), Artificial
Intelligence and Machine Learning (AIML), and related fields.
This notes is unique as it is developed during classroom teaching sessions, based
on the interactive discussions, explanations, and problem-solving activities
conducted with the students. This approach ensures that the material closely
aligns with the learning pace and comprehension levels of students, making it a
practical and accessible resource.
Our primary objective has been to simplify complex theoretical concepts, such as
formal languages, automata theory, Turing machines, and undecidability, into
clear and concise explanations. Special emphasis has been placed on solving
problems and providing illustrative examples to reinforce understanding and
application of the concepts.
The content is in accordance with the syllabus prescribed by Visvesvaraya
Technological University, Belagavi, Karnataka, covering all prescribed modules
comprehensively. While the explanations are derived from classroom
interactions, they are supplemented by references to standard textbooks, online
materials, and educational resources to ensure the notes are accurate, reliable,
and up-to-date.
We believe that this notes will serve as an invaluable aid to students in their
academic journey, enabling them to build a strong foundation in the Theory of
Computation and excel in both their examinations and future endeavors.
Sincerely,
Prof. Rakesh V S
