"Think Complexity is not just another how-to-program-in-Python book."
-- , Sagecreek Productions
"This short but extremely exciting book is simultaneously an invitation to actively participate in what Stephen Wolfram has called "A New Kind of Science", and an introduction to "Data Structures" (what traditionally has been the second course in Computer Science) with an exciting new motivation."

"If Professor Downey ever opens an online class for "Think Complexity" either synchronized or on UDemy I would sign up in a heartbeat."

"This was a difficult book to read! For the most part, it is a textbook introducing the field of Complexity Science and explaining some fundamental Computer Science topics. The explanations of the topics are not very different to the standard ones available in most other textbooks but the exercises provided are a bit more geared to practical use of the theory. Python is used to demonstrate some topics but don't expect a lot of practical Python programming, the content is predominantly theoretical." Full Review >

"This one is not an easy one, however, if you won't be able to solve all the presented puzzles it is still worth getting through the book." Full Review >

"The author starts from introduction what the complexity theory is and why the specific problem can't be resolved with traditional approach precisely. After the introduction, it starts from basic algorithm explanation of graph, hash map, iterator, and how to estimate the calculation cost with sample codes and the concrete estimation procedure.
