This book combines concepts from mathematics and computer science. It covers sequences of symbols that can be generated by simple models of computation called finite automata.
It starts from elementary principles and develops the basic theory. It then shows how these ideas can be applied to solve problems in number theory and physics. The book is suitable for graduate students or advanced undergraduates.
