Lecturer: Dr. Maurice Cochand

Assistant: Humberto Naves



                                         



This year's course will cover the following topics: pseudorandomness, extractors, indistinguishability, hardness versus randomness, list-decoding, derandomization, and BPP. The goal is to expose math-students to fundamental issues and techniques of pseudorandomness, one of the most fruitful domain of research in Theoretical Computer Science over the past 20 years.  The goal is neither Cryptography nor the practical implementation of PRG's. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions or remarks concerning the lecture or the exercise class!
