Notes and Expositions

  • Lecture notes for Avi Wigderson's talks on "Randomness, Pseudorandomness and Derandomization" from the Fields Distinguished Lecture Series, Sept 2010.
    1. Randomness - A computational complexity view. [PDF]
    2. Cryptography and Pseudorandomness. [PDF]
    3. Expander graphs - a ubiquitous pseudorandom structure. [PDF]

  • I also wrote a news article on Avi's talks for the Fields Institute's Winter 2011 newsletter.

I was just guessin',
At numbers and figures,
Pullin' the puzzles apart.

Questions of science,
Science and progress,
Do not speak as loud as my heart.
