Think Complexity: Complexity Science and Computational Modeling
by Allen B. Downey
Publisher: Green Tea Press 2012
ISBN/ASIN: 1449314635
Number of pages: 146
Description:
This book is about complexity science, data structures and algorithms, intermediate programming in Python, and the philosophy of science. The book focuses on discrete models, which include graphs, cellular automata, and agent-based models. They are often characterized by structure, rules and transitions rather than by equations.

Communication Complexity (for Algorithm Designers)
by Tim Roughgarden - Stanford University
The two biggest goals of the course are: 1. Learn several canonical problems that have proved the most useful for proving lower bounds; 2. Learn how to reduce lower bounds for fundamental algorithmic problems to communication complexity lower bounds.

Complexity Theory
by Johan HÃ¥stad
This set of notes gives the broad picture of modern complexity theory, defines the basic complexity classes, gives some examples of each complexity class and proves the most standard relations. The author emphasizes the ideas involved in the proofs.
