Reviews
'One finds all the essential facts on automata and formal languages. Style and form of presentation of this book give evidence of the beauty of applied algebra, not only for those who are interested in semigroup-theory.' H. Mitsch, Monashefte fur Mathematik, Vol. 116, No. 2, 1993 'The presentation is clear and rigorous, the precise definitions being preceded by introductory examples that motivate them ... presents two distinguishing features. First, it illustrates very nicely the use of algebraic notation and methods and, second, its final chapter covers important material not easily accessible to students. It is a very welcome addition to the literature and is recommended as a textbook with mathematical sophistication.' Paulo A.S. Veloso, The Computer Journal, Vol. 36, No. 6, 1993 'Highly readable and with many exercises (with solutions).' Mathematika 'a deeply and rigorously mathematical text' Mike Holderness, New Scientist
