Assuming that means start and means accepting state i labelled the states according to the original automata, and deleted from r1 and from s2, but added s2 for each possible state change to r1 once an a1word would be accepted, we can jump to a2. Consequently, this course takes a fresh look at some of the standard concepts of discrete mathematics relations, functions, logic, graphs, algebra, automata, with strong and consistent emphasis on computation and algorithms.
