Lecture Notes on Computational Complexity
by Luca Trevisan
2004
Number of pages: 171
Description:
These are notes from a graduate courses on Computational Complexity offered at the University of California at Berkeley. The first 15 lectures cover fundamental material. The remaining lectures cover more advanced material - there are lectures on Hastad's optimal inapproximability results, lower bounds for parity in bounded depth-circuits, lower bounds in proof-complexity, and pseudorandom generators and extractors.

Introduction to Complexity Theoryby Oded Goldreich
Complexity theory is the study of the intrinsic complexity of computational tasks. The book is aimed at exposing the students to the basic results and research directions in the field. The focus was on concepts, complex technical proofs were avoided.
