Form of study
Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
Before starting this course, students must master the following courses: discrete mathematics, mathematical logic, and fundamentals of programming; to know the theoretical foundations of automata theory and set theory.
To be able to master the techniques of working with regular expressions, and elementary skills of mathematical and computer modeling of linguistic phenomena.
Course content
The goal of the discipline is to master the theory of formal grammar and gain experience in analyzing the types of grammar used to determine the syntactic structure of both formal and natural languages. Mastering algorithms for the analysis of a number of types of grammar provides the student with a new direction in conducting both theoretical and practical research into the structures of formal and informal languages.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Lectures, seminar classes, and independent work.
Assessment methods and criteria
The semester number of points is formed by the points received by the student in the process of learning the material from the entire educational course. The overall score for the semester consists of points received for classroom work (which synthesizes and independent work on processing theoretical material for classroom preparation: ongoing assessment, control work in the form of test tasks, presentation defense) and for independent work (preparation of a presentation, performance of a laboratory works).
