Unknown

Complexity Zoo is a comprehensive online catalog of computational complexity classes, providing formal definitions, properties, and the known relationships (inclusions and separations) among classes. It covers hundreds of classes—from P, NP, PSPACE, and EXP to probabilistic, quantum, counting, and nonuniform varieties—along with their definitions and key results, making it a core reference for Theory of Computation.

NFA to DFA Converter

Browser-based simulator by Kyle Dickerson for building DFAs, NFAs, and pushdown automata, then running inputs through them singly or in bulk. Useful for checking by hand whether a machine you designed accepts the right language.

Algorithmic Lower Bounds: Fun with Hardness Proofs (MIT 6.890)

Techniques for proving problems computationally hard: NP-hardness reductions, gadget design, games and puzzles, PSPACE-completeness, inapproximability and fixed-parameter hardness. Includes 23 lecture videos, lecture notes, and problem sets with solutions. Afterwards you can construct reductions showing a problem likely has no efficient algorithm.
