Abstract
This thesis aims to advance our algorithmic understanding of some of the most fundamental objects in computer science: graphs and matrices. Specifically, on one hand, we develop a broad set of sampling techniques that yield better (sparser) approximations of these objects and do so more efficiently. On the other hand, we provide faster algorithms for a host of core problems in numerical linear algebra and graph algorithms. The resulting insights often lead to first in decades progress on the studied problems.
