Typesetting Technical and Mathematical Material
The use of LaTeX and BibTeX is not required. However, these tools provide much better support for typesetting text that includes mathematics than alternatives — and some students might find this to be of interest.
Assignment #1: Deterministic Finite Automata and Regular Languages
For assignment #1, groups of students will (ideally) follow a design process, described in lectures, to design a deterministic finite automaton for a given language. They will also provide part of a proof of their deterministic finite automaton’s correctness. The assignment is based on material introduced during the second lecture — on May 7 — and in tutorials during the second week of classes — on May 11–12.
Students will complete the assignment in groups of either three or four students. The assignment is in two parts, with the first part due at 11:59 pm on Friday, May 15, and with the second part due at 11:59 pm on Friday, May 22.
