, Preface
This Instructor’s Manual is designed to accompany the textbook, Introduction to the Theory
of Computation, third edition, by Michael Sipser, published by Cengage, 2013. It contains
solutions to almost all of the exercises and problems in Chapters 0–9. Most of the omitted
solutions in the early chapters require figures, and producing these required more work that
we were able to put into this manual at this point. A few problems were omitted in the later
chapters without any good excuse.
Some of these solutions were based on solutions written by my teaching assistants and
by the authors of the Instructor’s Manual for the first edition.
This manual is available only to instructors.
