One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.
This topic introduces the basic objects of formal language theory: alphabets as finite sets of symbols, strings as finite sequences formed from those symbols, and languages as sets of strings. These ideas matter because every later topic in automata theory—regular expressions, finite automata, grammars, and Turing machines—builds on being able to describe symbols, form words, and define sets of valid words precisely.
