Literature:


  1. •Textbook: Logical Reasoning: A First Course, by Rob Nederpelt and Fairouz Kameraddine, King’s College London Publications, 2007.


  1. •Textbook: Modellierung: Grundlagen und formale Methoden by Uwe Kastens and Hans Kleine Buening, Hanser, 2005.


  1. •Textbook: Introduction to Automata Theory, Languages, and Computation by John E. Hopcroft, Rajeev Motwani, and Jeffrey D. Ullman, Pearson/Addison-Wesley, 2007.


The books can be ordered via Amazon.de . Some copies are available at the department library.

Prerequisites:  None

Rules: Presence in class is obligatory. Each student can miss one class, but not more than that without a serious reason. Each week after the lecture (Thursdays 1pm-4pm) the students are given a set of several homework exercises that are to be solved in groups of at most three people, signed, and delivered to the lecturer for the corresponding group before the following Wednesday 11 am. These exercises are to be discussed during class on that same Wednesday/Thursday. We will correct one randomly chosen exercise per week and the students will get a grade for that one. The corrected homework will be returned to the students with grades one week later. Needless to say, copying between different groups is unacceptable and will be sanctioned. During class we will present the solution of the chosen corrected exercise and the students will be asked to present the solutions/discuss the other exercises. We may also present additional solutions. Grading: The grade of a student is determined by: (1) his/her grades of corrected homeworks, and (2) activity (ability to present solutions of exercises) in class. Hence, this is a course with permanent evaluation, there will be no exam. http://livepage.apple.com/
