This course focuses on streaming algorithms that are used to sequentially process massive datasets using low memory. As a result, they produce a concise summary of the dataset that approximately preserves relevant data properties. We will cover basic problems such as counting distinct elements, estimating quantiles and random sampling, as well as algorithms for graph or geometric streams. We will also discuss how to prove lower bounds in this model using communication complexity. Since streaming algorithms typically employ randomness, we will assume knowledge on the level of the course
