I am an EE who has previously tried to take this course and found it incredibly hard because of theory, formal proofs etc.. Can anyone recommend a book, lecture notes to accompany this course to make life easy?

I am not sure what the course is like, so I am not sure if this would help, but Stephen Wolfram's book about automata is pretty good.

This is the book that was used when I was an undergrad.

It is also used for the graduate course.
