Cos 594d: a Theorist’s Toolkit

These are edited lecture notes from a graduate course at the Computer Science department of Princeton University in Fall 2002. The course was my attempt to teach first year graduate students students many mathematical tools useful in theoretical computer science. Of course, the goal was too ambitious for a course with 12 three hour lectures. I had to relegate some topics to homework; these incl...

This document includes some mathematical notions I will assume. Most of these are taught in a discrete math class, and in any case are not complicated and easy to pick up. You can read it at your own pace — it will take a few weeks until we’ll get to use all of this stuff. You do not have to do the exercises, and in any case don’t need to submit them. If you feel you’d like more clarifications ...
