Ask HN: New Resources for Learning Complexity Theory

13 pointsby wannabebarista5 months ago
A few years ago in 2021, I put together a guide to resources for learning computational complexity theory at the graduate level [0]. Think time and space complexity, hierarchy theorems, and circuit complexity.<p>For video lectures, for instance, I recommended Ryan O’Donnell undergraduate [1] and graduate classes [2] at CMU. To keep this up to date, I want to add more options for lecture notes and videos.<p>Have you worked through a new book or a recent set of lectures that were helpful?<p>[0]: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bcmullins.github.io&#x2F;complexity_theory_resources&#x2F;<p>[1]: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;playlist?list=PLm3J0oaFux3YL5vLXpzOyJiLtqLp6dCW2<p>[2]: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;playlist?list=PLm3J0oaFux3b8Gg1DdaJOzYNsaXYLAOKH

There is the textbook &quot;Computational Complexity: A Modern Approach&quot; by Arora and Barak with a freely accessible draft:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;theory.cs.princeton.edu&#x2F;complexity&#x2F;book.pdf" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;theory.cs.princeton.edu&#x2F;complexity&#x2F;book.pdf</a>
