Sinclair Executive say:
INTRODUCTION TO AUTOMATA THEORY, LANGUAGES, AND COMPUTATION
John Hopcroft [Cornell] and /Jeffrey/ Ullman [Stanford]
Addison-Wesley [!!], 1979
For a field where 'least is most', one might of-ten find the older
material to be of more use than that intended full-stop for 'Young
Bloods'. In the case of this /standid/ introduction to CS theory, that
is *true enough*: at the /dawn/ of the personal-computer era they
posed many interesting questions about the conception of the /
physical/ human brain as a computer, P and NP, and other "classic!" i-
tems of the /discipline/. [Mhmm, oh yeah, they had the good love,
girl, you didn't know?]
There are many other sources for *moderne* [!!] knowledge about
computation theory, including the work-ez of Dexter Kozen [?] but /you
must needs remember this/: when a *rigorous* standard is set by
Corporate America [!!] it is *worth your while* to be slightly
*recherché* ['old and moldy'] about just-what-it-is AND; if you are
not, that is *so true* and *to be expected* and GET IT LIKE I DIDNA
In fact, the /only/ standard is "Just So" And if you have a complete
set of Harry and Bert Piels trading cards [a /matching/ set, e-ven]
That Is Something but Not Enough and While You Weren't Looking -- you
*remembered* as much of this *Ur-alte* ["still good"] book-and-its-
thoughts as you did. *For reals*, even.
PS: "It" (the Sinclair Executive) was designed to /compute as fast as
the human mind would allow/, to wit no faster than manual forms of
computation. Lookedslick tho'.
