Abstract

The Theory of Computation is considered essential for all CS undergraduates, yet most of the texts in common use are more suited for graduate-school-bound mathematics majors than today's typical CS student. This paper describes pedagogical techniques that motivate and simplify the presentation of undergraduate topics from the theory of computation.
