Week 10
- So we are almost done with this half. And the plot thickens. So we have started going deeper into Big-Oh and Big- Omega. I learned that when dealing with Big-Oh you under-estimate the second function and overestimate the first function to try and find a relationship. That process will also help you find your c . We are meant to consider a c large enough to make the second function an upper bound for Big-oh, and then for Big-Omega we are meant to consider a c small enough to make the second function a lower bound. All pretty basic stuff I guess. My TA did a good job of explaining this topic I think, it was very well taught. Here's an Example of a question I solved


- I guess the trick is to first understand the graph and decide if its true or false. That's the hardest part for me. First I have to imagine the graph in my head and then decide if its true or false. then I always think about what exactly to write in the comments sometimes. I hope I get the basics soon enough though. No class next Monday so party weekend guys.
Trying to understand the graph and decide if it's true or false is the hardest part for me too! Especially since if you decide wrong, you get 0% for proving an untrue statement ):
