Lecture 3.



Today we saw three methods for solving the maximum contiguous subset sum problem. The purpose of this exercise was algorithm analysis. However, a the lessons that could be learned from looking at the three different solutions are ways of thinking that can be used to obtain efficiencies.

I closed with a quick look at definitions of the sets Big-O Big-Omega and Big-Theta. I have attached the presentation for your reference.

On Monday I plan to review recursive procedures, beginning with binary search. This material straddles Chapter 6 and Chapter 8 of the text.
