Logic, formal languages, and automata theory for computer science
Experienced and patient teacher of logic for computer science. I have taught logic, formal languages and automata theory to undergraduates for six years. My tutoring is adapted to the student's level and goals. Whether you need to learn logic for your studies, or you would simply like to know more about the subject, I will be more than happy to help you improve your understanding and skills. Logic The sciences presuppose a certain standard of rationality. An ability to distinguish between correct reasoning and claims that do not follow from the assumptions. In this class we study the basic principles of logic and apply mathematical techniques to the study thereof. Topics include: Propositional and Predicate Logic Syntax and semantics Semantic Tableaux Natural deduction Correctness and soundness Completeness Formal languages and automata A formal language is an abstraction of general characteristics of programming languages. Such a languages consists of a set of symbols together with some rules to determine whether a string made up out of those symbols is a member of the language. Topics include: Regular languages, context-free languages Finite automata, pushdown automata, Turing machines Regular expressions Regular grammar, context-sensitive grammar Pumping lemmas for regular and context-free languages
