Avi Wigderson's Louis Clark Vanuxem Lectures

I recently stumbled across the slides for "A world view through the computational lens", three talks given at Princeton University by Avi Wigderson. These talks, which were delivered in the Louis Clark Vanuxem series, form an excellent companion to the talk that Papadimitriou recently gave at FCRC. See this post.

The plan for Wigderson's series of lectures is as follows.

• Lecture I: "Algorithms: a common language for nature, man and computer ." [PowerPoint]
  
• Lecture II: "Time, space and the cosmology of computational problems." [PowerPoint]
• Lecture III: "Cryptography: secrets and lies, knowledge and trust." [PowerPoint]

There is a lot of inspiration to be drawn from those slides. Is TCS really the "new math"? Only time will tell, but this really a good refrain to listen to anyway :-)
