Formal Languages and Automata Theory is a foundational subject in computer science that explores how machines (automata) process and recognize patterns or strings formed using formal languages. This theory forms the basis of compiler design, language processing, and complexity theory.

- MODULE 3Myhill-Nerode Theorem (for Regular Languages): The Myhill-Nerode Theorem provides a method to determine whether a language is regular and helps in minimizing finite automata.9
- MODULE 4A Pushdown Automaton (PDA) is a type of computational model used to recognize context-free languages. It is more powerful than a finite automaton because it uses an additional memory structure called a stack.7
- MODULE 5A Turing Machine (TM) is a theoretical computational model invented by Alan Turing in 1936. It is one of the most powerful models of computation and serves as the foundation of modern computer science.9
