About the Course

The Foundations of Computing course by Chuck Allison

The course is based on a textbook for upper-division Computer Science majors covering formal languages and automata with an introduction to computability. Intended to give CS majors a solid foundation in the Theory of Computation without being overly formal mathematically, while retaining the rigor of the material. It has been classroom tested since 2016 with good success.

This course includes nearly three hours of exclusive video interviews with the author, covering questions related to each of the six lessons included in the course.
