Sanjeev Arora and Boaz Barak Princeton University complexitybook@gmail.com Not to be reproduced or distributed without the authors’ permission This is an Internet draft. Some chapters are more finished than others. References and attributions are very preliminary and we apologize in advance for any omissions (but hope you will nevertheless point them out to us). Please send us bugs, typos, missing references or general comments to complexitybook@gmail.com — Thank You!! DRAFT ii DRAFT About this book Computational complexity theory has developed rapidly in the past three decades. The list of surprising and fundamental results proved since 1990 alone could fill a book: these include new probabilistic definitions of classical complexity classes (IP = PSPACE and the PCP Theorems) and their implications for the field of approximation algorithms; Shor’s algorithm to factor integers using a quantum computer; an understanding of why current approaches to the famous P versus NP will not be successful; a theory of derandomization and pseudorandomness based upon computational hardness; and beautiful constructions of pseudorandom objects such as extractors and expanders. This book aims to describe such recent achievements of complexity theory in the context of the classical results. It is intended to both serve as a textbook as a reference for self-study. This means...

Kirkham School of Mechanical Engineering, University of Western Australia MECH3402 Final Report School of Mechanical Engineering University of Western Australia Submitted: October 16th, 2009 Page 1 Andrew Chau, 20264212 Michael Li, 10758152 Tiong Kun Ooi, 20256339 Improvements and Operation of the Damper Dynamometer Project Summary Dampers, also known as shock absorbers, are an integral part of a motor vehicle, especially vehicles used in motorsports. The use of different dampers will inevitably affect the handling and stability of a race car as different dampers will have different characteristics and therefore, the dissipation of kinetic energy in the springs will be different. An onsite damper dynamometer will allow UWAM, University of Western Australia Motorsport team, to readily test their dampers to determine their characteristics and also tune them to their desired properties. A damper dynamometer has been manufactured and a data acquisition software, DAQ, already written by previous years projects. The purpose of this project will be to finalise the damper dynamometer. The original scope of the project was to implement...

...A Solution Manual for: A First Course In Probability: Seventh Edition by Sheldon M. Ross. John L. Weatherwax∗ September 4, 2007 Introduction Acknowledgements Special thanks to Vincent Frost and Andrew Jones for helping find and correct various typos in these solutions. Miscellaneous Problems The Crazy Passenger Problem The following is known as the “crazy passenger problem” and is stated as follows. A line of 100 airline passengers is waiting to board the plane. They each hold a ticket to one of the 100 seats on that flight. (For convenience, let’s say that the k-th passenger in line has a ticket for the seat number k.) Unfortunately, the first person in line is crazy, and will ignore the seat number on their ticket, picking a random seat to occupy. All the other passengers are quite normal, and will go to their proper seat unless it is already occupied. If it is occupied, they will then find a free seat to sit in, at random. What is the probability that the last (100th) person to board the plane will sit in their proper seat (#100)? If one tries to solve this problem with conditional probability it becomes very difficult. We begin by considering the following cases if the first passenger sits in seat number 1, then all ∗ wax@alum.mit.edu 1 the remaining passengers will be in their correct seats and certainly the #100’th will also. If he sits in the last seat #100, then certainly the last passenger cannot sit there (in fact he will end up in seat #1). If he sits in any of the 98...

It is freely available in its entirety in a downloadable PDF form or to be read online at: http://www.phy.duke.edu/∼rgb/Class/intro physics 1.php It is also available in an inexpensive (really!) print version via Lulu press here: http://www.lulu.com/shop/product-21186588.html where readers/users can voluntarily help support or reward the author by purchasing either this paper copy or one of the even more inexpensive electronic copies. By making the book available in these various media at a cost ranging from free to cheap, I enable the text can be used by students all over the world where each student can pay (or not) according to their means. Nevertheless, I am hoping that students who truly find this work useful will purchase a copy through Lulu or a bookseller (when the latter option becomes available), if only to help subsidize me while I continue to write inexpensive textbooks in physics or other subjects.
