I really enjoyed taking Ullman's Automata course on Coursera. I found it was great for better appreciating topics like
* searching
* implementation of automata in electronic circuits
* challenges of formal specifications for things like protocols and grammars, as well as for verifying their correctness; implementation strategies for applying these specifications
* computability and complexity
* programming language theory
* history of computer science
* LANGSEC arguments
in addition to having an austere mathematical beauty.
- theshank 6y agoThank you for sharing this one. I was looking for a course like this! BTW this course is now offered on edx.
- schoen 6y agoOh, thanks for the update! It looks like the new version is at https://www.edx.org/course/automata-theory https://www.edx.org/course/automata-theory Definitely recommended if you like somewhat dry and mathematical stuff with deep relevance to many areas of computer science. :-)
- psibi 6y agoSomehow I found the course very dry (as compared to other coursera course like Dan Grossman's PL course).
- schoen 6y agoI agree that it was quite dry, but the intellectual content was great.
