Taylor L. Booth was a mathematician specialized in automata theory. One of his fundamental works is Sequential Machines and Automata Theory (1967). It is a wide-ranging book meant for specialists, written for both theoretical computer scientists as well as electrical engineers. It deals with state minimization techniques, Finite state machines, Turing machines, Markov processes, and undecidability. Taylor L. Booth is also the founder of the Booth Engineering Center for Advanced Technology (BECAT) [1], a research center located in the University of Connecticut. The center was established in 1981 in response to the growing need for a centralized computing research and development facility in the university.
