Oh,Oh,Oh,merry analysis!!!
hi guys
i wonder if you can guess what this topic is about from the title.anyway i have recently started looking into this a little,so i'm wondering if you can give a few problems for me to do?

Re: Oh,Oh,Oh,merry analysis!!!
What kind of analysis?
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
Probability is the most important concept in modern science, especially as nobody has the slightest notion what it means.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.

Re: Oh,Oh,Oh,merry analysis!!!
well look at the title one more time.it's not spelled Ho,ho,ho as usual,but Oh,Oh,Oh.helpful?

Re: Oh,Oh,Oh,merry analysis!!!
So then you are trying to do Big Oh, or Landau notation as it is sometimes called?

Re: Oh,Oh,Oh,merry analysis!!!
Correct!!!
so,can you give me some relatively simpler problems i could do?

Simplify
f(x)=6x^9+8x^8+11 using Big O notation.

Re: Oh,Oh,Oh,merry analysis!!!
i'm not sure what's meant by that.do you mean just
f(x)=O(x^9) ?

Re: Oh,Oh,Oh,merry analysis!!!
Yes, that is correct.
What is the meaning of the Big O notation here:

Re: Oh,Oh,Oh,merry analysis!!!
hi
well maybe that other terms are of "order" greater or equal to x^4.i saw this ex. on wiki.didn't read it carefully.
EDIT:i just looked at the wiki article.it means that the error of calculating the abs. difference e^x-1-x-x^2/2-x^3/6 is less in value than c*|x^4| for some const. c>0

Re: Oh,Oh,Oh,merry analysis!!!
Big-O is like a sort-of estimation of the maximum or minimum or something near the answer.
Big-O square or Big-O log base 10, etc...

Re: Oh,Oh,Oh,merry analysis!!!
hi JEF
i read about that.but i think that the O(log x) does not really need a base specified.

oh yeah, I think you're right, it is a general overview type of statement.

Which is asymptotically greater?
9^n or n!
