Overview
This is the first book to present an up-to-date and self-contained account of Algebraic Complexity Theory that is both comprehensive and unified. Requiring of the reader only some basic algebra and offering over 350 exercises, it is well-suited as a textbook for beginners at graduate level. With its extensive bibliography covering about 500 research papers, this text is also an ideal reference book for the professional researcher. The subdivision of the contents into 21 more or less independent chapters enables readers to familiarize themselves quickly with a specific topic, and facilitates the use of this book as a basis for complementary courses in other areas such as computer algebra.

P. Burgisser, M. Clausen, M.A. Shokrollahi, and T. Lickteig Algebraic Complexity Theory The book contains interesting exercises and useful bibliographical notes. In short, this is a nice book. --MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS From the reviews: This book is certainly the most complete reference on algebraic complexity theory that is available hitherto. ! superb bibliographical and historical notes are given at the end of each chapter. ! this book would most certainly make a great textbook for a graduate course on algebraic complexity theory. ! In conclusion, any researchers already working in the area should own a copy of this book. ! beginners at the graduate level who have been exposed to undergraduate pure mathematics would find this book accessible.
