Theoretische Informatik für Dummies

Theoretical computer science is a subject that causes anxiety for many students; it is considered abstract, highly formalized, and detached from everyday life. This book makes the fundamental ideas of theoretical computer science understandable even for students whose primary focus is not computer science, and certainly not mathematics. Topics such as automata theory, formal languages and grammars, complexity, and computability are the essential contents of theoretical computer science addressed in this book. With a wealth of examples, including those from daily life, and a relaxed writing style, any interested student can overcome the hurdle of "theoretical computer science" – and perhaps even feel some of the fascination it holds.
