I didn't study finite automata at school, but I studied cellular automata on my own. If anyone would like to describe the difference (if there is one), it'd be appreciated.
W.r.t cellular automata, I made this video, and if this isn't enlightenment, I don't know what is: https://vimeo.com/80147310 https://vimeo.com/80147310
- theseoafs 13y agoCellular automata are one of the things you study in automata theory, which is the study of different models of computation. Although cellular automata are of some interest (Game of Life is Turing-complete, etc.), I wouldn't say they're nearly as important as the other models of computation you'd study in a normal undergraduate class (DFA's/NFA's, PDA's, Turing Machines).
