This book contains five essays
on the complexity of continuous problems, written
for a wider audience. The first four essays are based on talks
presented in 2008 when Henryk Woźniakowski received
an honorary doctoral degree of
the Friedrich Schiller University of Jena.
The focus is on introduction and history of the complexity of continuous
problems, as well as on recent
progress concerning the complexity of high-dimensional numerical
problems. The last essay provides a brief and informal introduction to
the basic notions and concepts of information-based complexity addressed
to a general readership.
