image transcription:
an image incorporating two famous memes. on top is the title "learning about Σ* in theory of computation."
in the centre is a close-up of Chad face – often used when talking about sigma males – cropped in a five-pointed star shape.
below are two soyjaks pointing towards the aforementioned Chad face. those soyjaks are labeled "me" and "my brain".
It's funny, I never associated formal languages as part of the theory of computation. We only learnt about them from the perspective of automata/state machine theory
Automata and formal languages were pretty much my entire "Theory of Computation" class. It's what's in Sipser.
