🧮 Theory of Computation & Automata

Can every problem be solved by a computer? How do we prove a program will never finish? What makes some problems fundamentally harder than others? Theory of Computation answers these deep questions and they turn out to be some of the most practically important in all of computer science.

This course builds from mathematical foundations through finite automata, regular languages, context-free grammars, Turing machines, and computational complexity. The legendary P vs NP problem one of the Millennium Prize Problems with a $1 million reward is explained clearly and intuitively. Every abstract concept is grounded with concrete examples from real computing.
