6.100L Introduction to CS and Programming Using Python (Fall 2022, MIT OCW): Lecture 22

6.100L Introduction to CS and Programming Using Python

6.100L Introduction to CS and Programming Using Python (Fall 2022, MIT OCW). Instructor: Dr. Ana Bell. This subject is aimed at students with little to no programming experience. It aims to provide students with an understanding of the role computation can play in solving problems. It also aims to help students, regardless of their major, feel justifiably confident in their ability to write simple programs that allow them to accomplish useful goals. The class will use the Python 3 programming language. (from ocw.mit.edu)

Lecture 22 - Big Oh and Theta

This lecture explores how to compare the efficiency of algorithms by using notation that describes growth independent of machine or specific implementation. It shows how to use Theta to describe asymptotic order of growth as well as upper and lower bounds.
