Descrizione articolo

Riassunto:

Many Computation Engineering textbooks emphasize automata theory only, not logic, losing a the opportunity to tie these subjects together and reinforce learning. This textbook ties theory and logic together, using interactive tools, such as simple BDD and SAT tools. By providing a blend of theory and practical applications the material is presented as both inviting and current. Key concepts are illustrated in multiple domains so that information is reinforced and students can begin to tie theory and logic together.

Recensione:

From the reviews:

"One of the constant challenges faced by computer science faculty is how to tie in the theory of computing with applications. This text attempts to do just that ... . Overall, this book is a good undergraduate theory text. ... It includes exercises, with software tools to aid in visualization of key ideas. ... The exercises are appropriate for an undergraduate-level class. ... It is a good text ... ." (M. D. Derk, Computing Reviews, December, 2006)

"The book under review shows, logic and automata theory can be combined to provide powerful tools for checking computer code ... . There is no doubt that the book was written with great care and that it caters for a real need. ... the book is written in a very lively style, which makes reading it quite pleasurable. ... many nice applications of automata that are peppered throughout the book." (S. C. Coutinho, SIGACT News, Vol. 39 (3), 2008)
