QuestionBigO and Set Theory Pin
John R. Shaw6-Apr-06 18:10
John R. Shaw6-Apr-06 18:10 
I would like to see an article on calculating BigO, written in such away that it is easy to understand. What I am talking about is an article that takes an algorithm like "Hopcroft's minimization" and breaks it down one piece at a time. The algorithm that is broken down does not really matter as long as the break down is detailed enough that all of us can understand it. A better choice would probably be for someone to break down the different basic sorting algorithms, so that even a novice would know what a statement like O(log N) means.

I would also like to see an article on set theory, written in plain English. Recently I had to decipher several equations written using set theory notation, what a nightmare. I can explain the code that resulted just fine, but ask me to provide the solution using set theory notation and you are out of luck. It kind of reminds me of those books that claim that you can understand it if you are familiar with basic algebra and then proceeds to throw math at you that is way beyond the basics. What I am asking for is an article that breaks down the symbols (equations) used in set theory and give a detailed explanation of what they mean. For instance, if you have the article handy you will be able to take the equations written in set notation and translate them into actual working code or take working code and translate it into set notation. Reading a PHD candidates thesis is all well and good, but it would be nice if those of us without a PHD could understand what they are talking about.

The above requests are examples of one reason I am going back to school, after all these years. The second reason is that I want to teach programming and I need a master’s degree to do that. The way I see it, if you can not explain it in such away that the average intelligent person can understand it then either you are tired of the subject [take it for granted] or you do not really understand it.
