OC chapter 2 Ullman
I just started reading Theory of Coputation from Ullman. Well.. I have to admit it. It is tough to understand things.. I skipped the very first chapter and started reading from the second chapter which deals with finite automata. I have read almost 10 pages befgore getting tired. I wonder whether I would ever be able to complete reading the relevant GATE portions from that book.
Recently I got an online copy of a book on automata written my an MIT prof called Sipster.
Some previous GATE toppers are recommending a book wrttten by cohen.
I am really confused how i will study automata...

Yogic way of Life – Part IIIMeditation
*********
The main objectives of meditation are
1. to feel and enjoy the state of being alive at the present moment,
irrespective of all external circumstances and challenges of life.
2.to improve concentration , awareness of breath, extent of total
relaxation, control over sense organs like ears, tongue, nose, eyes,
skin and above all mind.
3. to experience spiritual delight and enlightment
# The first step is to prepare for meditation. It would be better if
you could meditate in the morning at sunrise, with an empty stomach
after taking bath. Do it sitting on the floor on a mat. It is better
to have a place devoid of furniture,except the carpet, an atmosphere
which calms your mind and has good air circulation and above all which
is free from all external distractions. You should be able to feel
completely comfortable and secure at this place.

***********************
Guidance for GATE'09(Computer Science)...from AIR98
To All GATE Aspirants,
i have received many requests for guidance for GATE'09 so i m trying
to put them all together here.
i ve got AIR 98 (percentile 99.44 branch CS) in GATE'08 and this
letter is just an attempt to analyze -
1. how i succeeded to reach to rank 98 , and
2. why i failed to get rank in first 30
also i want to clear that these are just my views to look towards GATE
and it may differ from person to person, so my request to all is take
this letter just as guidance but build ur own strategy to unlock the
GATE!!!
So let me start with most important part of this process (cracking the
exam) i.e. analysis of paper!!!
ANALYSIS OF PAPER
First of all, go through all previous papers. Especially, the papers
of the year when organizing institute is same as that of GATE'09.
GATE'08 was organized by IISc. The previous years when IISc was
organizing institute were year 2002, 1996, and 1990. When I solved
these papers, I found out that there are some concepts on which IISc
was focusing more. E.g. In each of these papers there was question on:
B/B+ tree,
Newton-Raphson Method,
More stress on CO and Digital,
Mathematics is more inclined towards Calculus than Discrete Maths
On the contrary problems on Probability, Networks and Compilers were
not much difficult…..
If u solve GATE'08 paper u ll find the same thing here also….
So we can say that GATE paper is much predictive. so first task to do
is go through all the papers (I think the organizing institute this
time may be Madras and prev years when madras was organizing institute
were 1991, 1997, 2003…) and find out the similarities….stress on them.
I m not saying to skip all other topics…but practically its really
difficult (not impossible) to focus on all the subjects….so, I just
want to say, if u want to skip some topics don't skip the topics
stressed by the organizing institute. Also don't underestimate the
remaining topics …. here comes my first mistake…I under-estimated
Mar 30
स्थलांतर...
Probability and solved very simple problem wrongly ….result was -2.5 marks []
But warning is if u skip some topics u must be perfect in all the
remaining topics. And the definition of perfect, here, is there must
be only one person to solve particular problem on that topic before
u….the paper setter!!!.....no one else
Now next point is,
Every GATE paper contains three kinds of questions:
1. problems on tricky concepts
if u know the concept, ur done…
2. Difficult problems
U ve to put ur brains to solve these problems…
3. Practically unsolvable problems
U may find totally unknown and new concepts which couldn't be solved
in 3hrs time this typically includes problems on CO and probability.
To crack the GATE u ve to solve correctly ALL the problems of first
kind….for 2nd kind, the more the problem u solve, lesser the rank u ll
get!!!
Now while solving the paper, I solved it in 3 passes….
1. Solve all the problems that u can solve undoubtfully…means answer
only when ur 200% sure about the ans ….for this pass I ve given 2hrs
during the paper which is quite sufficient
2. Check all the problems…Remember while checking have thorough
checking….check whether u ve marked correct option…check
question-to-ans correspondence is correct…many times it happens that
we solve Q.30…leave Q31 blank and after solving Q32 we mark option in
front of Q31….here comes my another mistake…I haven't checked three of
questions for which I thought no checking is necessary…but I lost 7.5
marks….this pass may take 15-20 min…
3. after careful checking only turn towards problems for which u are
doubt full…try to rethink on these problems…u may solve 3-4 of them…
I ld like to explain u how much imp ur hit ratio….in GATE'08 I
attempted 54 questions…out of which 14 are of 1 marks and 40 are of
marks…out of 14, 11 are correct and 3 came to be wrong…and out of
40…28 came to be correct and 12 came to be wrong…so my score, I think
is round about 60/150….
Mar 30
स्थलांतर...
Now if I ld ve attempted only 11 one marked questions and 28 2 marked
questions….for which I was 200% sure…then my score ld ve been
67/150….means surely I ld ve got rank <50
Continuing the discussion about marks…
I think, for easy paper(like GATE'07) 75/150 = IIT
For difficult paper(like GATE'08) …u can see even 60/150 is done!!!
So in general attempt 50-60 questions with hit ratio >90% and ur through!!!
Well,
Now I ll come to preparation part of the GATE
BOOKS and SUBJECT ANALYSIS
Discrete Mathematics
MOST IMP subject as far as CS is concerned
First order logic:
prepare it from Trembley-Manohar and solve exercise from Discrete
Mathematics and Application by Kenneth Rosen. Easy topic. Once concept
is clear marks are urs….
Important rules of thumb are given in Kenneth Rosen
Probability and Combinatorics:
I skipped this part. But Kenneth Rosen again has variety of problems
on this topic.
Set Theory:
Trembley-Manohar
Boolean algebra,Groups, Lattice, Relations:
Kenneth Rosen has good discussion on Relations and Lattice.
Book by K.D.Joshi on Discrete Maths has good derivations regarding
enumerating the relations…go through it, it ll surely help to build up
the ideas…
For Boolean Algebra and Group Theory again book by Trembley-Manoher is
good, but for exercises I used book by Ross(I don't remember the full
name of author…sorry for that)
Trembley-Manoher includes good theorems in Group Theory…
Linear Algebra, Calculus and Numerical Methods:
For these subjects I used the course books by local authors which we
used for semester exams…
There are some quickie methods to find out inverse of matrix, eigen
values and eigen vectors, determinant…understand those from Profs in
ur college
Recurrence Relations:
Kenneth Rosen includes some rules of thumb for Particular Solutions of
Recurrence Relations…once u got them solving problems on RR is work of
few secods…
Particularly for Recurrence Relations, try to find ans by eliminating
wrong options…
Mar 30
स्थलांतर...
i.e. if u know f(1)=a and f(0)=b…try to put 1 and 0 in options and see
where u get correct ans….believe me in most of cases u ll get quick
and correct ans by this way….
Graph Theory:
MOST IMP topic for CS
Try to go through all possible books and material for Graph Theory.
Note down the general formulae/theorems given in books…read them frequently…
Kenneth Rosen includes good discussion in most of the concepts of GT.
Graph Theory by Douglas West is also gr8 book.
Theory of Computation
Book by
John C. Martin
This is gr8 for Regular Languages, Finite Automata…theory and problems
Cohen
This includes variety of problems on every other concept of TOC…theory
is also very perfect (as good as spoon feeding) …especially for
pumping lemma
Peter Linz
Again good theory …easy to understand….problems on Turing Machine are tricky…
Michel Sipser
This book is good especially for Un-decidability, Recursive and RE
languages, NP-completeness
For NP-completeness book on Algorithms by Sahani is also good
I suggest u to read these books in following order
1. Read concepts from Cohen….u also can refer Peter Linz…solve exercises
2. Solve exercise from John Martin
3. Read Michel Sipser for advanced concepts
statutory warning: TOC book by Ullman is injurious to brain …but do
read this book once…this contains, exclusively, concepts of
Homomorphism, HALF of LANGUAGE etc…
Digital Logic:
Morris Mano…morris mano…morris mano!!!!!!!!
There are ppts on the department website of IIT-D regardin this
course…which contains good discussion on some concepts like Fault
Detection and Hazards in Circuits…
Walkerly is also good book…
There is also a book Fundamentals of Digital Circuits by A. Anand
Kumar which includes thorough discussion on Number System(don't
under-estimate this point…there are many tricky concepts in it!!!)
Mar 30
स्थलांतर...
Computer Organization and Architecture:
Book by Morris Mano(not the same as Digital…there is separate book for
CO)…it contains good theory and problems for Addressing Modes, DMA and
IO…refer latest edition coz previous editions doesn't include concepts
of Register Window….so I could not attempt problem on it
Book by J. P. Hays contains good discussion on Micro-programming and
Hard-Wired Design, also it contains good formulae for Pipelining
J. P. Hays also contain thorough discussion on Floating Point number formats….
Good and exclusive formulae for Secondary Storage…
Book by Zaky
It has good theory for Pipelining
Also thorough discussion in Cache memories…. Don't skip any word and
any problem written about cache in this book
Algorithms
Read each and every word written in book by Cormen…solve every other
excersies….this is enough…solution manual is available over the
internet…search on esnips.com
Also there is one book, I found on flazx.com, named "Problems on
Algorithms"…this book contains only problems …no theory…..but good
book
Book by Sahani is also good
IMP subject for CS
Get perfection in:
Master Theorem and Asymptotic notations
Data Structure and Programming
For programming u must be great in concepts of Pointers and Recursion.
For tricky problems related with programming visit department websites
of various foreign universities and solve the assignments given there…
For data structure
Book by Alan Weiss is great and sufficient for theory….
For problems on Data Structure…nothing is sufficient….solve as many as u can…
To understand various operations on various Trees and Heaps there are
many Java Applets available over the internet…they will demonstrate
it…
Compiler Design
Ullman…nothing else!!!
For lexical analysis some problems are asked on C program like: a C
program is given and we are asked to find out number of tokens
generated…so to understand tokens in C…book by Denis Ritchie is good
Mar 30
स्थलांतर...
Read each and every word given on Parsers in Ullman…there are many
tricks given to find out whether grammar is LL or LR or CLR or LALR
statutory warning: this book requires too much patience to understand
Many students skip this subject but Ullman is best for
Parsers, S-attributed and L-attributed SDT, Scopes of variables,
Passing of Parameters, Code Optimization (defn only)
Prepare at least these points
Operating Systems
Book by Galvin is very good for concepts
Modern Operating System by Andrew Tanenbaum is the best book for OS.
It contains great number of problems. Also includes some of theory
that is not included in Galvin's book.
Operating Systems by Stallings also contains tricky problems…soln
manual is also available on esnips.com
I also suggest Schaum's Series (author: J. Archer Harris) book on
operating systems for problems. It is a very good compilation of
problems from Galvin, Tanenbaum and Stallings. Also soln are given.
While preparing prepare operating system along with CO. it will be
helpful for Memory Management.
statutory warning: while solving problems on OS keep ur head cooool
and….recheck them thrice…better not to attempt problems on OS in
doubtful situation
Database
For physical database organization (theory) and SQL, RA, TRC
Book by Raghuramkrishnan…soln manual is available
For transaction management and Normalization
Book by Korth … soln manual is available
For ER diagrams and problems on physical database organization
Book by Navathe….available on ebookee.com
Once u finish reading topics in Korth and Raghuramkrishnan and ur
concepts are clear, then onwards I suggest u to read and stick up with
Navathe coz it contains lot of techniques and algorithms not given any
where else
Computer Networks
For application layer protocols
"Computer Networking – A top down approach" by Kurose and Ross
available on flazx.com
"TCP/IP" by Forouzan
Mar 30
स्थलांतर...
For Frame Formats, TCP and IP Header formats
"TCP/IP" by Forouzan
Data Link Layer, Network Layer, Transport Layer
"Computer Networks" by Tanenbaum
Go through all the exercises given in the book…soln manual is
available on esnips.com
Some Suggestions for Preparation/Study
1. Strictly use Reference books, don't rely on any class notes.
2. In first phase of ur study (in month of May-June) go through all
GATE papers. Solve them by ur own. Once problem is solved try to find
out similar problems from refernce books and solve them. This will fix
up the concepts well.
3. Use department websites of various universities to get latest assignments.
4. plan ur schedule in such a way that u ll be able to finish up whole
syllabus in month of Dec. from jan onwards try to solve papers.
5. keep ur feb first week for revision only…don't read any new
concepts ( I tried to do calculus in month of Feb…i couldn't even
solve simple problem on limits…total time-waste)
hope this was not too boring …and will be helpful to all of u….
if u have any doubts…feel free to ask me anytime…
also i request all those who have cracked GATE to add their experinces
here to help out those who are going to appear for GATE'09

Guidance for GATE By AIR 16....
HOW TO CRACK GATE?(AIR 16 2008 CSE)
This is what I think is required to crack GATE.
1>>Good technical knowledge
2>>Good understanding of Basic Concepts
3>>Ability to apply the knowledge and concepts on variety of problems
To Develop 1 and 2 you will need to read and understand reference
books, to develop 3 you will need to solve the problems. Now question
is from where to get the problems or the MCQs, the answer is the
problems are given at the back of every chapter in the reference
books, you will need to solve those problems,may be not all of them.
Problems reveal lot of truth and clear our misconception and false
convictions. And GATE has certain property that lot of Quesions in it
are based on concepts that are revealed in certain problems in
reference books. So its really really important to have a shot at the
problems.
Now here is the list of reference books that I used for preparation.
• DISCRETE MATHEMATICS
I started my preparation with discrete maths, and I would recommend
you also to start with this perticular subject because this is the
subject from where Computer Science spreads out. Understanding of this
subject is very important. I used following books:
1>>"Discrete maths and its applications" By Kenneth Rosen
This is an excellent book for GATE preps. Lot of problems are given at
the end of every chapter plus answers are also given to odd numbered
exercises. The explaination in this book is really very good and "easy
to understand". This book is must read for GATE preps.
2>>book by Tremblay and Manohar
I recommend you to read this book after you have read Rosen's book.
The contents in this book is hard to comprehend. You need to have your
basics cleared before you attempt this book. This book is also a "must
read". I also have the lecture notes on discrete maths from some prof
at McGuire university the advanced counting and recurrence relation
part is good in these notes you can download them from my esnips
profile.
May 26
MAYUR
• ALGORITHMS
I recommend to you to read this subject along with Discrete maths or
after you have completed discrete maths. I used only one book for this
subject and found that to be more than enough for GATE.
1>>"Introduction to Algorithms" By T.H.Cormen et al.
This is "THE" book for Algorithms. The Book is simply brilliant, it
makes you understand every details of Algorithms. So this book is a
must read. Although I did not read the entire thing. Here is the list
of chapters that I had read. If you are interested of course you can
read the entire book.
Chapter 1,2,3,4[excluding 4.4],6,7[excluding 7.3],8,10,11[excluding
11.5],12[excluding 12.4],18,22,23,24[excluding 24.4 and 24.5] for
NP-Completeness you can read 34 also.
In addition to this book I strongly recommend you to see the video
lectures from MIT. The lectures are given by Lieserson[who BTW is also
one of the authors of CLRS] and Erik demaine. The lectures are
absolutely brilliant. You may download them from ocw.mit.edu
• DATASTRUCTURES
I did not read this subject exclusively. I mostly participated in
discussions in Algorithms and datastructures communities on orkut .
That is i think more than enough.
• THEORETICAL COMPUTER SCIENCE
I initially tried to decipher Ullman's book but I found the content
too much for my brain to comprehend. So I switched to "Introduction to
Computer Theory" By Daniel Cohen. The contents in this book are lucid.
Also solving or atleast attempting the problems in the exercises is a
must. But its really great if you could read Ullman.
• DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
I used Korth and Navathe for this. Initially I read korth because it
is lucid and then only for normalization i read Navathe. The database
design part in korth is difficult so read this part with utmost
concentration and you may require several readings before you begin to
understand things.

• OPERATING SYSTEMS
Read this from following books:
1>>Operating System Concepts By Galvin et al.
2>>Stallings
Attempt problems in Stallings they are very important especially
problems on memory management and virtual memory. In Galvin the theory
on memory management is excellent.
• Digital Design
Read "Digital Design" By morris mano [period].
• COMPUTER ARCHITECTURE
Read this from following books
1>>"Computer Architecture" By Morris mano
2>>"Computer Organization" By Zacky,hamacher
3>>"Computer Organization Hardware/Software Interface" By Hannessey
and Patterson
Read book 1 almost completely then read memory system from book 2 then
you can read
book 3, I had read only the performance measurement chapter from book
3 as it is not given in any other book and also solve numericals from
exercises they are very very important. I recommend you to read this
subject after "Digital Design".
• COMPUTER NETWORKS
I had read this subject only from forouzan and had read some chapters
from Comer's book. Attempt the exercises from forouzan they are
important.
• C programming
You read this from "the C programming language" by kernighan and
Ritchie that is more than enough plus spend some time in actually
programming in C that is the best way you can learn C.
• C++
I dont know C++ much and I did not read anything for C++. Dont be
spoiled, you can read C++ complete reference if you wish to.
May 26
MAYUR
• Compiler Design
Did not read this subject at all. "People" say Ullman's book is
excellent so you can read it from Ullman if you believe "People".
In the final phase of your preps "try" to solve GATE papers. The
answers for the GATE papers are not present anywhere but still you
should attempt them anyway. This will give you confidence that you can
actually solve GATE.
You can read all the subjects given here you can skip one or two if
you dont have much time But more important thing is to "MASTER"
atleast 2 or 3 subjects. Also actively participate in discussions at
GATE CS or GATE CS/IT 2009 and Algorithms and Datastructures community
in orkut.com that helps alot in patching few loopholes in our concepts
and enhancing your problem solving skills. Thats it guys,this much is
I think enough to crack GATE. You can ofcourse Device your own methods
and set of books. Just be confident you can do it!
These are few URLs Which I think "might" be helpful

****************************
Guidance for GATE By AIR 16....
HOW TO CRACK GATE?(AIR 16 2008 CSE)
This is what I think is required to crack GATE.
1>>Good technical knowledge
2>>Good understanding of Basic Concepts
3>>Ability to apply the knowledge and concepts on variety of problems
To Develop 1 and 2 you will need to read and understand reference
books, to develop 3 you will need to solve the problems. Now question
is from where to get the problems or the MCQs, the answer is the
problems are given at the back of every chapter in the reference
books, you will need to solve those problems,may be not all of them.
Problems reveal lot of truth and clear our misconception and false
convictions. And GATE has certain property that lot of Quesions in it
are based on concepts that are revealed in certain problems in
reference books. So its really really important to have a shot at the
problems.
Now here is the list of reference books that I used for preparation.
• DISCRETE MATHEMATICS
I started my preparation with discrete maths, and I would recommend
you also to start with this perticular subject because this is the
subject from where Computer Science spreads out. Understanding of this
subject is very important. I used following books:
1>>"Discrete maths and its applications" By Kenneth Rosen
This is an excellent book for GATE preps. Lot of problems are given at
the end of every chapter plus answers are also given to odd numbered
exercises. The explaination in this book is really very good and "easy
to understand". This book is must read for GATE preps.
2>>book by Tremblay and Manohar
I recommend you to read this book after you have read Rosen's book.
The contents in this book is hard to comprehend. You need to have your
basics cleared before you attempt this book. This book is also a "must
read". I also have the lecture notes on discrete maths from some prof
at McGuire university the advanced counting and recurrence relation
part is good in these notes you can download them from my esnips
profile.

MAYUR
• ALGORITHMS
I recommend to you to read this subject along with Discrete maths or
after you have completed discrete maths. I used only one book for this
subject and found that to be more than enough for GATE.
1>>"Introduction to Algorithms" By T.H.Cormen et al.
This is "THE" book for Algorithms. The Book is simply brilliant, it
makes you understand every details of Algorithms. So this book is a
must read. Although I did not read the entire thing. Here is the list
of chapters that I had read. If you are interested of course you can
read the entire book.
Chapter 1,2,3,4[excluding 4.4],6,7[excluding 7.3],8,10,11[excluding
11.5],12[excluding 12.4],18,22,23,24[excluding 24.4 and 24.5] for
NP-Completeness you can read 34 also.

Follow your dreams
If while pursuing your distant dreams..
Your bright hopes turn grey..
Don't wait for reassuring words..
Or hands to lead the way..
For seldom will you find a soul..
With dreams the same as yours..
Not often will another help you..
Pass through untried doors..If inner forces urge you..
To take a course unknown..
Be ready to go all the way.
Yes, all the way alone...
Thats not to say you shouldn't..
Draw lessons from the best..
Just don't depend on lauding words...
To spur you on your quest..
Find confidence within your heart..
And let it be your guide..
Strive ever harder towards your dream..
And they won't be denied..
- Bruce B Wilma

The unreachable star
To dream the impossible dreamTo fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
And to run where the brave dare not go
To right the unrightable wrong
And to love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star
This is my quest
To follow that star
No matter how hopeless
No matter how far
To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march, march into hell
For that heavenly cause
And I know If I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart
Will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest
And the world will be better for this
That one man, scorned and covered with scars,
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable, the unreachable,
The unreachable star
And I'll always dream
The impossible dream
Yes, and I'll reach
The unreachable star
