Highlights of Theoretical Computer Science ( Jin-Yi Cai )

Brief Introduction

The Lecturer will describe some fascinating topics from the subject area called Theoretical Computer Science (TCS). TCS is the study of efficient algorithms and the mathematical structures surrounding the existence of such algorithms. TCS is a vast area, and due to the available time The Lecturer will only be able to give a select sample of many beautiful results. But hope that this sample will give students a taste of TCS, its intellectual vigor and its mathematical depth.
