The Mathematics of Words

Authors

A. Ross Eckler

Abstract

From the standpoint of an algebraist, words are nothing but ordered sequences of letters, each letter being a member of an allowable alphabet of such letters. Any sequence of letters is permitted, and he is often interested in deriving theorems about the existence or non-existence of certain letter-patterns.
