CSCI3240 - Computing Theory and Compiler

This course provides the fundamental concepts of the theory of computation and compiler design. Theory of Computation is a foundational discipline that provides the theoretical principles, such as finite automata, regular expressions, and context-free grammar, required for designing critical components of a compiler, like the lexical analyzer and parser. These tools enable the analysis and interpretation of programming languages, allowing software and computing systems to execute the desired commands and produce the intended output. It covers a range of topics from formal languages, automata theory, parsing techniques, lexical analysis, to syntax analysis.
