| DESCRIPTION :
This course is an introduction to two kinds of formal systems: logics and languages. Each of these areas is crucial to a computer science education and each of them leads directly to important computing applications. Various systems of logic and automatic reasoning are currently used in artificial intelligence, database theory and software engineering. The study of formal languages underlies important aspects of compilers and other language processing systems, as well as the theory of computation. The entire course will give you practice in precise thinking and proof methods that play a role in the analysis of algorithms. The programming assignments in Prolog and Lex provide practical experience with some course issues. | ||||||
