This textbook not only provides an elegant route through the theoretical fundamentals of computer science, it also shows that theoretical computer science is a fascinating discipline, full of spectacular contributions and miracles, depth of research, and yet directly applicable. It presents the development of the computer scientist's way of thinking: detailing such classic areas as computability and automata theory as well as such fundamental concepts as approximation and randomization in algorithmics. Coverage also explains the basic ideas of cryptography and interconnection network...

The communication complexity of two-party protocols is an only 15 years old complexity measure, but it is already considered to be one of the fundamen- tal complexity measures of recent complexity theory. Similarly to Kolmogorov complexity in the theory of sequential computations, communication complex- ity is used as a method for the study of the complexity of concrete computing problems in parallel information processing. Especially, it is applied to prove lower bounds that say what computer resources (time, hardware, memory size) are necessary to compute the given task. Besides the...
