Recent applications to biomolecular science and DNA computing have
created a new audience for automata theory and formal languages.
This is the only introductory book to cover such applications. It
begins with a clear and readily understood exposition of the
fundamentals that assumes only a background in discrete
mathematics. The first five chapters give a gentle but rigorous
coverage of basic ideas as well as topics not found in other texts
at this level, including codes, retracts and semiretracts. Chapter
6 introduces combinatorics on words and uses it to describe a
visually inspired approach to languages. The final chapter explains
recently-developed language theory coming from developments in
bioscience and DNA computing. With over 350 exercises (for which
solutions are available), many examples and illustrations, this
text will make an ideal contemporary introduction for students;
others, new to the field, will welcome it for self-learning.
