What should I learn in theoretical computer science?
Yes, I've covered algorithms and some computational complexity. Can you tell me more about automata theory?
Automata theory is the study of abstract machines and the computation processes they represent. It includes topics such as regular languages, context-free grammars, and Turing machines. It's a foundational area of theoretical computer science, and understanding automata theory is important for many fields, including programming language design and compilers. Would you like some resources to get started with automata theory?
