CSC236, Fall 2012

Welcome to CSC236, Introduction to the Theory of Computation. In this course you will augment your intuition as a programmer with analytical skills and proof. Many students find this course challenging, so you are encouraged to make use of lectures, tutorials, office hours, and the DCS Help Centre to help you master course material.

You are responsible for making sure you have the necessary prerequisites for this course.If you wish me to waive the course prerequisites, you must obtain a waiver from me the first week.
