Formale Systeme 511.002 (instructions), Winter semester 2015/2016
Schedule: Thursdays starting 15.10.15
1pm-3pm in T01 (Group 1, me), T03 (Group 2, Markus Flatz) and
T02 (Group 3, Sebastian Arming)
First meeting: Thursday October 15 at 1pm in T01 and T03
Language: Teaching in German, course material (mainly) in English
Tutorials: Fridays 12am - 1:30pm in T03
Literature:
-
•Textbook: Logical Reasoning: A First Course, by Rob Nederpelt and Fairouz Kameraddine, King’s College London Publications, 2007.
-
•Textbook: Modellierung: Grundlagen und formale Methoden by Uwe Kastens and Hans Kleine Buening, Hanser, 2005.
-
•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 class (Thursday afternoon) the students are given a set of several homework exercises that are to be solved by the students until the next class. These exercises are to be discussed during class on the following Thursday.
Each week except the first one we will have a short (15min) test with a simple exercise covering the material from the week before. These tests will be graded and together form the final grade.
During class we will present the solution of some exercises and the students will be asked to present the solutions/discuss the other exercises.
Grading: The grade of a student is determined by: (1) his/her grades in the tests, and (2) activity (ability to present solutions of exercises) in class. Hence, this is a course with permanent evaluation, there will be no final exam.

-
•Week 2, 15.10.15.
-
•Week 3, 22.10.15.
