About this book

This book provides a structured introduction to automata theory, bridging theoretical foundations with practical applications. Designed for students, researchers, and professionals, this book explores fundamental concepts like deterministic and non-deterministic finite automata, context-free grammars, pushdown automata, and Turing machines. It emphasises problem-solving, critical thinking, and real-world applications in areas such as compiler design, natural language processing, and network protocols. This book features the following: • Offers step-by-step learning, progresses from DFA and NFA to CFG, PDA, and Turing machines, ensuring clarity and depth. • Offers step-by-step explanations for automata design, language properties, and computational problem-solving. • Covers automata applications in lexical analysis, pattern matching, network protocols, and AI. • Challenges readers to apply concepts beyond memorization, fostering analytical skills, uses graphical representations to enhance understanding of automata transitions and operations. • Demonstrates how automata theory influences cybersecurity, software development, and computational linguistics. This book is an essential resource for students and professionals in computer science, providing the logical foundation and problem-solving skills needed for careers in theoretical computing, artificial intelligence, and software engineering. Introduction to Automata Theory and Formal Languages: A Logic Building and Problem-solving Approach by Amol M. Jagtap and Gautami G. Shingan is a technical textbook published in July 2026 by Chapman & Hall.
