It turns out that I performed extremely well on the mid-term. It was reassuring that a lot of the questions resembled ones we had gone over previously with some minor differences. Also, I was able to score well on the quiz in last week's tutorial, so my results on both evaluations were definitely a confidence booster. The material for the big O is not overly complicated, but the proofs for upper and lower bounds are somewhat confusing because I'm not entirely sure how to prove it correctly since it appears that you can prove them in more than one way. Hopefully this will be clarified in next week's tutorial.
Congratulations for doing well on the midterm! :) Well, it's not really that there are not really many ways to prove it, but because all you have to prove most of the times is an inequality, there are different steps you can follow to prove that the inequality holds. It's like when you are trying to solve an equation. There are different ways to solve it, but they all give you the same answer really. Hope this helps.
ReplyDeleteYes, it certainly helped clarify my confusions. Thanks. :)
