Introduction to Algorithms - Problem Session 1 Asymptotic Behavior of Functions and Double-ended...
JASON KU: I'm Jason. Hopefully you guys saw me on Tuesday. This is our first ever 6.006 problem session that we'll be having on Fridays this term. It's really an experiment. We've never done this before. But one of the things that we were discussed while preparing for this class is that we have two different methods of instruction, formally, usually in this class-- a lecture, which is there to present you with the fundamental material, the data structures, and the algorithms that are the base, the foundation of what-- how you will be approaching problems in this class; and then the problem sets that you will work on, our applications of that material. But there's usually a much different feel between those problems that we'll give you then the underlying foundational material. So the application of that material will feel very different. And a lot of times, there are tricks to approaching the problems or ways of approaching the problems that you ki...
