In the above MT1P1 abbreviate midterm 1 problem 1. Within the class there were two versions of a given test; however, these two versions were just problem permutations of each other. The results above are all for the first of these two permutations.

LO1 (Learning Outcome 1) -- Write a grammar for a language described otherwise.

LO2 -- Construct deterministic and non-deterministic machines for various languages.

LO3 -- Describe a language in terms of a regular expression.

LO4 -- Find a regular expression for a language described by a finite automaton and conversely.

LO5 -- Construct a deterministic finite automaton from a non-deterministic one.

LO6 -- Minimize a deterministic automaton.

LO7 -- Be able to use a pumping lemma to show that some languages are not regular and/or not context-free Use closure properties to simplify proofs of non-regularity of languages.

LO8 -- Be able to construct a pushdown automaton accepting a given language.

LO9 -- Construct a Turing machine accepting some simple languages.

LO10 -- State in precise mathematical terms what is meant by undecidability of the Halting Problem, and be able to show the undecidability of simple extensions of the Halting Problem, using the reduction technique.

N/A -- Important material covered in the course but not directly related to a specific learning outcome.
