Title: Excellent Work For Students With Varying Computing And Mathematics Backgrounds Or Those With An Interest In These Subjects
Review: This text provides a gentle introduction of this theory covering all three aspects: automata, complexity, and computability. This book does not include the long and tedious mathemathical proofs of its assertions that might be found in similiar text. For some one who is looking for a simple conceptual introduction with ample "laymen's explanations", an excellent book for a refresher on the subject, or a supplemental text for a course which they are taking or teaching, this work is subperb. At some point, I plan on purchasing another Sipser text on another computing topic if available.
