《近世计算理论导引:NP难度问题的背景、前景及其求解算法研究》对迄今为止的历史上的有关计算理论了的实质性成果作了深刻、严格而又直观的论述。为计算机科学的实质性难题NP难度问题的实现求解提出了一条现实的高效的求解途径。《近世计算理论导引:NP难度问题的背景、前景及其求解算法研究》的不同部分的不同组合可作为大学生、硕士生、博士生的教材，也可供有关的科技人员参考。

1936年，24岁的图灵发表了现代计算领域奠基性的论文《论可计算数及其在判定问题上的应用》。这篇论文堪称图灵一生中最重要的贡献。然而，大众对图灵的了解多停留在破解德国的著名密码系统Enigma，帮助盟军取得二战的胜利上。对于数学家图灵，人们往往知之甚少。
在本书中，作者深入分析了图灵的这篇论文，读者只需具备高中水平的数学知识，即可轻松读懂这篇划时代的论文，了解其对现代计算发展的杰出贡献。正如人工智能之父马文·明斯基所说，图灵的论文有着超乎寻常的简洁性及数学之美。任何希望深入了解图灵及其工作的读者都不该错过这本书！

This beginning graduate textbook describes both recent achievements and classical results of computational complexity theory. Requiring essentially no background apart from mathematical maturity, the book can be used as a reference for self-study for anyone interested in complexity, including physicists, mathematicians, and other scientists, as well as a textbook for a variety of courses and seminars. More than 300 exercises are included with a selected hint set.

Reviews
Pre-Publication Review: "This text is a major achievement that brings together all of the important developments in complexity theory. Student and researchers alike will find it to be an immensely useful resource."
Michael Sipser, MIT, author of Introduction to the Theory of Computation
Pre-Publication Review: "Computational complexity theory is at the core of theoretical computer science research. This book contains essentially all of the (many) exciting developments of the last two decades, with high level intuition and detailed technical proofs. It is a must for everyone interested in this field."
Avi Wigderson, Professor, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton
Pre-Publication Review: "This book by two leading theoretical computer scientists provides a comprehensive,insightful and mathematically precise overview of computational complexity theory, ranging from early foundational work to emerging areas such as quantum computation and hardness of approximation. It will serve the needs of a wide audience, ranging from experienced researchers to graduate students and ambitious undergraduates seeking an introduction to the mathematical foundations of computer science. I will keep it at my side as a useful reference for my own teaching and research."
Richard M. Karp, University Professor, University of California at Berkeley
