Course Materials

In the first several lecture we follow Sipser's book "Introduction to the theory of computation"

If you need some background in math, consider these two sourses:
Lecure notes: Discrete Mathematics, L. Lovasz, K. Vesztergombi
Лекции по дискретной математике (черновик учебника, in Russian)
