“... theory is good for you because studying it expands your mind... Specific technical knowledge, though useful today, becomes outdated in just a few years.

Studying theory trains you in these areas.” AbilityKnowledgeStudyTheoryTheoreticalAbilitiesStudyingTechnical Book:Introduction to the Theory of Computation Source: Introduction to the Theory of Computation
