For fun, I recommend looking up the song "Good Bayesian" by Baba Brinkman, it's very catchy!

This is a great little (16 minute) video that intuitively explains Bayesian probability from a variety of perspectives, but especially in visual (geometric) terms. Very useful for pretty much anyone - this is a critical thinking skill that applies...

Craig Belair published a blog post COMP372 Abuses of asymptotic notation in the group COMP372 Design and Analysis of Algorithms January 12, 2020 - 11:23pm

One of the most common abuses of asymptotic notation is the use of the "=" sign when representing set membership. For example, we might write f(x)=12x3+5x2+x+3 = Θ(x3). Clearly it would be more proper to write f(x)∈Θ(x3)....

Craig Belair published a blog post COMP372 PROBLEM 1-1 in the group COMP372 Design and Analysis of Algorithms January 12, 2020 - 11:21pm

In order to solve Problem 1-1, we first convert all times into microseconds:1 second = 10^6 microseconds1 minute = 60*10^6 microseconds1 hour = 3600* 10^6 microseconds1 month ~= 30*24*3600*10^6 microseconds1 year ~= 12*30*24*3600*10^6...

  Interesting solution for the last row n!. Now that's a creative work around. It's cool to see what different methods everyone's using to solve the same question.

  Wow this is an old one. You broke the solution down very well and made it simple to understand. Desmos is still around so I’m sure this will be helpful to anyone who didn’t know that work-around. Hope you’re doing well in life.
