From the winner of the Turing Award and the Abel Prize, an introduction to computational complexity theory, its connections and interactions with mathematics, and its central role in the natural and social sciences, technology, and philosophyMathematics and Computation provides a broad, conceptual overview of computational complexity theory-the mathematical study of efficient computation. With important practical applications to computer science and industry, computational complexity theory has evolved into a highly interdisciplinary field, with strong links to most mathematical areas and to a growing number of scientific endeavors.Avi Wigderson takes a sweeping survey of complexity theory, emphasizing the field's insights and challenges. He explains the ideas and motivations leading to key models, notions, and results. In particular, he looks at algorithms and complexity, computations and proofs, randomness and interaction, quantum and arithmetic computation, and cryptography and learning, all as parts of a cohesive whole with numerous cross-influences. Wigderson illustrates the immense breadth of the field, its beauty and richness, and its diverse and growing interactions with other areas of mathematics. He ends with a comprehensive look at the theory of computation, its methodology and aspirations, and the unique and fundamental ways in which it has shaped and will further shape science, technology, and society. For further reading, an extensive bibliography is provided for all topics covered.Mathematics and Computation is useful for undergraduate and graduate students in mathematics, computer science, and related fields, as well as researchers and teachers in these fields. Many parts require little background, and serve as an invitation to newcomers seeking an introduction to the theory of computation.Comprehensive coverage of computational complexity theory, and beyondHigh-level, intuitive exposition, which brings conceptual clarity to this central and dynamic scientific disciplineHistorical accounts of the evolution and motivations of central concepts and modelsA broad view of the theory of computation's influence on science, technology, and societyExtensive bibliography.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricate relationship between communication and efficiency in parallel computing, illuminating the profound impact of communication capacity on the performance of computational algorithms. The author, a leading expert in the field, explores the fundamental trade-offs between the depth and width of parallel computation, demonstrating how these factors govern the time required to solve computational problems. By introducing novel techniques to overcome analytical challenges, the author provides groundbreaking insights into the lower bounds for parallel computation models, particularly in the context of concurrent-write and exclusive-write parallel random access machines. These discoveries advance our understanding of the inherent complexity of parallel algorithms and shed light on the optimal resource allocation for efficient computation. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
