Complexity Theory Column 2 0 Take-Home Complexity * Lane A . Hemaspaandr a Department of Computer Scienc e University of Rochester Rochester, NY 1462 7 lane@cs .rochester .edu Introduction Let us consider the first-year graduate complexity theory course. Here at the University of Rochester we use Papadirnitriou's book [Pap94] and Bovet and Crescenzi's book [BC93] as the texts, but man y other fine options exist, e .g ., [Sav98,Sip97,BDG95,BDG90] . By "the first-year graduate complexit y theory course," let us mean a one-semester course designed for first-year graduate students (not jus t theory people, but people from all areas), and probably cross-listed so advanced undergraduate s can take it . One lofty goal that such courses often have is to give students a feel for what it is like to be a complexity theorist . That is, such courses, in addition to conveying a certain body of information , often have the far more difficult goal of giving students a taste of the way theorists think an d work, ideally by having students think and work in the same way (within the context of th e course but in the best of cases, even the non-theory students may
