Lecture Notes on Sorting

We begin this lecture by discussing how to compare running times of functions in an abstract, mathematical way. The same underlying mathematics can be used for other purposes, like comparing memory consumption or the amount of parellism permitted by an algorithm. We then use this to take a first look at sorting algorithms, of which there are many. In this lecture it will be selection sort becau...

Lecture Notes on Surfaces

1. Surfaces Intuitively, a surface is a subset of R3 that “looks like” a plane when you zoom in on it, in the same way that the graph of a smooth function looks like a line when you zoom in on it. Surfaces are more complex objects than curves, and to appropriately describe them we will require a more complex definition than we had for curves. In this section we will gradually build the definiti...

Lecture Notes on Polynomials

Looking at the examples in (2.1), we see that the degree of the first polynomial is 2, the second one has degree 16, etc. A number of operations can be performed with polynomials. Given a polynomial p(z) and a complex number c, the polynomial c p(z) is obtained by multiplying each coefficient in p(z) by c. Given two polynomials p(z) and q(z), their sum is defined by adding the coefficients of c...
