This document is page 165 of a book or educational text titled 'Complexity & Chaos'. It features an image of a 'Bubble Sort Ballet' created by Sapientia University. The text discusses 'The Hardest Problems' in computer science, specifically explaining RSA encryption (developed at MIT in 1977 by Rivest, Shamir, and Adleman) and introducing 'NP' (non-deterministic polynomial) problems. The document bears the footer 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_015855', indicating it was included in a document production for the House Oversight Committee, likely related to investigations into Jeffrey Epstein's connections to MIT and scientific funding, though Epstein is not explicitly named on this specific page.
