Reviews

This interesting book... is refreshing to read his [Goldreichs'] opinions... The very strong focus on conceptual issues makes the book indispensible as a reference volume for research libraries. M. Bona, University of Florida, CHOICE This book provides very well developed material that should interest advanced students either studying or doing new work on computational complexity. It would also be a valuable text for professionals challenged with solving hard computing problems of intending to exploit these types of problems when designing of new types computing systems. Brian A. Lawler, Software Engineering Notes The book offers a conceptual perspective on several sub-areas of complexity theory and is intended to be used as a textbook for students and educators as well as for experts who seek an overview of of several sub-areas. Gerhard Lischke, Mathematical Reviews
