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)....

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.
