  1. 1 Intro
  2. 2 Dammit I'm mad, by Demetri Martin
  3. 3 Suppose you are the proofreader. How would you check if there's a mistake?
  4. 4 Problems
  5. 5 Algorithms
  6. 6 Instance/input size
  7. 7 When instances are integers
  8. 8 When instances are lists/strings

  15. 15 Let's do a log-log plot Say 1 step = 1 us
  16. 16 Intrinsic complexity
  17. 17 PALINDROMES: We know an O(n) algorithm, TwoFingers. Could there be a faster one? E.g., O(n)?
  18. 18 MULTIPLICATION
  19. 19 Common progress paradigm for a problem
