See the quiz info under HW Due
so you can find it quickly

that lets you draw and execute various kinds of automata. Not required for the course, but many students have found it to be helpful. JFLAP Tutorial
textbook errata file, and reference
it as you read the textbook.
Turnins: when and where? Reading quizzes (No submissions in the summer):
Due at beginning of class.
Hard copy only.
Print and answer by hand, or
answer electronically and print.
Print 2-sided to conserve paper.
Staple.Homework problems:
Due at 11:55 PM Indiana time on the due date.
Electronic submissions only.
Drop box on Moodle.
Submit each assignment as a single document,
preferably less than 2 MB.

slides include instructor notes and hidden slides)

there are no details that you need to retain (yet!).
Read carefully, answer the quiz questions,
write down any questions that you may have.
This is fundamental to all that we
will do in this course.
For many more examples of languages,
See Grimaldi, section 6.1. (pages 309-318)
Note that Grimaldi uses λ to represent the
empty string, while Rich uses ε.
Also very important material.
If any problems seem non-trivial to you, consider doing them soon for practice.

This gives a preview of the entire course,
without the mathematical details.
Read it, but don't spend a lot of time on it.
Another fundamental building block of the course.
The first "tricky" prevalent concept of this course.
1
I.e. a function whose domain is a
set of languages (usually the set of all languages)
and whose range is also a set of languages. So the function takes a language as its input
parameter and returns a language.
The syllabus contains details of how summer grace days work. .

Do these problems as practice for the final exam,
You can check your answers against the solutions that I will post.
This is the last assignment that has been updated for Summer, 2014
