"The book addresses a full spectrum of automata theory concepts used in computer science. Each of these concepts is presented in detail, since these concepts are basis of computer science and provide the basics for developing software techniques like designing and checking the behaviour of digital circuits, lexical-analyser of the typical compiler, and software for Natural Language Processing. To introduce the more formal aspects of Computer Science, the author has presented automata as foundation. For students who are ambitious to achieve unparalleled goals in the field of computer science, and want to develop their programming skills towards system programming, it becomes necessary that their mathematical concept are very clear"-- Preface of the book.
