Asymptotic notation and analysis, recurrence relations, and random background math topics (with attitude)

Daniel Farlow
Software Engineer

This post explores asymptotic notation and analysis, namely big-OO notation and a variety of related properties. This sets the stage for discussing recurrence relations and ultimately the Master Theorem for analyzing the time complexity of recurrence relations. Finally, we take a look at a few isolated math topics that will proof fruitful for future analyses.

Working with arbitrary bases

Daniel Farlow
Software Engineer

This post details how to work with arbitrary bases in a positional numeral system (e.g., decimal, binary, etc.). Specifically, this post details how to convert numbers from base 10 to base bb in such a way that not only is the whole number portion converted but also the fractional/radix portion as well.
