CS 3530 - Computational Theory

Institution:

Utah Tech University

Subject:

Computer Science

Description:

Required of students pursuing a Computer Science degree or emphasis. Covers the theory of computation, including finite-state automata, pushdown automata, Turing machines, and equivalent formalisms. Also introduces complexity theory. **COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLOs) At the successful conclusion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Compare the capabilities of various computational models and formulating new models as needed to research new classes of problems. 2. Analyze formal systems with mathematical rigor and the appropriate formal notation. 3. Investigate computational problems and categorizing their algorithmic complexity. 4. Appraise and justify the limits of computational models and the real-world systems that rely on them. Course fee required. Prerequisites: CS 2420 (Grade C or higher); AND CS 2810 (Grade C or higher); and CS 2100 (Grade C or higher) or CS 3310 (Grade C or higher) (can be concurrently enrolled). FA
