to do computational complexity. This is rather different
from every other thing we've seen in this class. This class is basically about
polynomial time algorithms and problems where we
can solve your problem in polynomial time. And today, it's about
when you can't do that. Sometimes, we can prove
you can't do that. Sometimes, we're pretty
sure you can't do that. But it's all about
negative results when your problems
are really complex....
