Learn this, slightly different construction, rather than the construction from the book. - and, of course, also learn the construction from Theorem 3.18 Lecture 6, Monday 7 October, 2024: * Sections 3.1, 3.4 * Brzozowski & McCluskey (Exercise 3.54) Exercise class 5-6, Friday, 11 October, 2024: * A selection of the following: - Exercises 3.21, 3.24, 3.33, 3.22(def), 3.37(b) - Extra exercise about inverting construction for eliminating Lambda-transitions - Exercises 3.40(a), 3.32, 3.1(ab), 3.10 (about reverse = mirror language), 3.41(e) Lecture 7, Monday 14 October, 2024: * Sections 4.1, 4.2 Exercise class 6-7, Friday, 18 October, 2024: * Exercises 3.2, 3.42, 3.51 (a, variant with Brzozowski & McCluskey), 4.10(acefdd2) * Exercise 3.7 mentioned Lecture 8, Monday 28 October, 2024: * Some more examples from Sections 4.1, 4.2 * Section 4.3 * Intro Section 4.4 Exercise class 8, Friday, 1 November, 2024: * Exercises 4.3, 4.4, 4.9, 4.26, 4.27, 4.28 * Exercises 4.1, 4.12, 4.22 mentioned Lecture 9, Monday 4 November, 2024: * Section 4.4 until (including) page 146 * Not really discussed, so no exam topic: proof of Theorem 4.17 * Exercise 4.45(b) (with induction) Exercise class 9, Friday, 8 November, 2024: * Exercises 4.15/4.19, 4.34, 4.36(bcefg), * Exercises 4.7, 4.38 mentioned Lecture 10, Monday 11 November, 2024: * Section 4.5 Exercise class 10, Friday, 15 November, 2024: * Exercises 4.49, 4.50(a), 4.51-4.53 * Question 6 from Exam 19 December, 2022
