Book Description

Learn to identify the implementation of Discrete Structure and Theory of Automata in a myriad of applications used in day to day lifeKey Featuresa- Learn how to write an argument using logical notation and decide if the argument is valid or not valid.a- Learn how to use the concept of different data structures (stacks, queues, sorting concept, etc.) in the computer science field.a- Learn how to use Automata Machines like FSM, Pushdown automata, Turing machine, etc. in various applications related to computer science through suitable practical illustration.a- Learn how to implement the finite state machine using JFLAP (Java Formal Languages and Automata Package).DescriptionThis book's purpose is to provide a modern and comprehensive introduction to the subject of Discrete Structures and Automata Theory. Discrete structures, also called Discrete Mathematics, are an exciting and active subject, particularly due to its extreme relevance to both Mathematics and Computer Science and Algorithms. This subject forms a common foundation for rigorous Mathematical, Logical Reasoning and Proofs, as well as a formal introduction to abstract objects that are essential tools in an assortment of applications and effective computer implementations. Computing skills are now an integral part of almost all the Scientific fields, and students are very enthusiastic about being able to harness the full computing power of these tools. Further, this book also deep dives into the Automata Theory with various examples that illustrate the basic concepts and is substantiated with multiple diagrams. The book's vital feature is that it contains the practical implementation of the Automata Machine example through the JFLAP Tool. Courses on Discrete Structures and Automata theory are offered at most universities and colleges.What will you learna- Understand the basic concepts of Sets and operations in Sets.a- Demonstrate different traversal techniques for Trees and Graphs.a- Deep dive into the concept of Mathematical Induction, Sets, Relations, Functions, Recursion, Graphs, Trees, Boolean Algebra, and Proof techniques.a- Understand the concept of Automata Machines in day to day life like the Elevator, Turnstile, Genetic Algorithms, Traffic lights, etc.a- Use the JFLAP tool to solve the various exercise problems related to automata theory.Who this book is forThis book is a must-read to everyone interested in improving their concepts regarding Discrete Structure and Automata Theory.Table of Contents1.
