5.0 out of 5 stars
Must have for any comp sci student's library,
This review is from: Introduction to the Theory of Computation (Hardcover)
I bought this book for my computer science undergrad, it is superb. One of the few books that explains subjects this complex yet still only requires a single read to understand any of its explanations. This along with Sommerville's software engineering and a couple of other titles are absolute musts for any computer scientist's book shelf, I will keep these until I retire. I really wish everything that was on my undergrad reading last had been written like this, NFAs and DFAs seemed so trivial because of it. Glad I bought the hardback (though technically I bought paperback and ended up with a hardback anyway. Lucky)

Simply superb,

I did a comp. sci. phd a couple of years back and, having a background in electronics engineering, needed a primer for automata theory etc. I found this book to be absolutely crystal clear in its explanations - the part about how to convert an NFA into the equivalent DFA still sticks out in my mind as a classic example of cleverly mixing up an intuitive understanding with theory. Brilliant.
This book is highly readable and I return to it sometimes just to enjoy revisiting its excellent explanations. I'd classify this as one of the top 5 computer books I've ever read. It is simply superb and I recommend it heartily. All books should be this clear.
