This course will explore the use of randomization in graph theory and combinatorics and in the design and analysis of algorithms. We will study a variety of techniques from probability theory that have become extremely useful to theoretical computer scientists. Examples include

Using these techniques we will study topics that include 22C:153 or an equivalent course taken elsewhere is a prerequisite. Some knowledge of probability and some mathematical maturity will definitely help.
