Contents:

Summary: David Harel is a big name in Theoretical Computer Science, one of the leading researchers, and chairman of the Applied Mathematics and Computer Science Department at the Weizmann Institute of Science. What made my mind up about reading this book were the strongly encouraging remarks on the back cover by Aho & Hopcroft, two of the foremost authors and researchers in the field, who've written some great textbooks themselves. This book presents all the basic fundamental ideas of the theory of computation, using as little maths as possible. Yet, the intellectual rigour is never compromised, which means that the reader truly gets a flavour of how a Computer Scientist thinks, and how much fun it can be.
