Jul 26, 2010 at 7:43 comment added Wadim Zudilin Does "so hard" mean "NP hard"?! :-)
Jul 26, 2010 at 7:40 comment added Qiaochu Yuan There are lots of good references at the Wikipedia article. You can probably also find some good discussions on many CS blogs, e.g. Fortnow's blog, Aaronson's blog, Lipton's blog...
