Course Information


Spring 2012

Lecturer: Lance Fortnow

Lectures: MWF 9:00-9:50 in Tech LG72

Description:
This course will cover a variety of topics in computational complexity including pseudorandomness, counting complexity, quantum computing and the structure of complete sets.

Prerequisite: EECS 335 or equivalent

There will be no textbook for the course. This blog will link to papers and scribe notes.

Grading will be based on scribe notes and a presentation of a recent paper in computational complexity.
