Great Ideas in Theoretical Computer Science Lecture Notes
This course note provides a challenging introduction to some of the central ideas of theoretical computer science. It attempts to present a vision of computer science beyond computers: that is, CS as a set of mathematical tools for understanding complex systems such as universes and minds.
