Computational complexity theory is devoted to understanding the limitations of efficient computation (with respect to computational resources such as time, space and randomness). This course will be a graduate level introduction to various aspects of complexity theory, with basics topics including  time/space complexity, NP completeness, and the polynomial hierarchy, and advanced topics such as the PCP theorem, randomness and derandomization, circuit lower bounds, etc.

When Offered Fall.
