With a "learn by example" approach and by focusing on fundamental issues of computation, this book aims to help readers gain lasting perspective in understanding computers. This is encouraged by carefully worked out examples, illustrations, and algorithmic proofs. "Theory of Computing" explains pattern matching, parsing, and helps to identify unsolvable problems. Hundreds of exercises marked according to the level of difficulty. Only algorithmic proofs are given in the text with other proof details are left to exercises, allowing readers to calibrate the mathematical depth they want to pursue.
