Most Important Video You'll Ever See or Why O(n^2) is too slow
- ColinWright 15y agoI know I've seen this before, several times. I even know I used SearchYC to find it in the past. So I turned to the new search box to find it, and I'm having no luck at all. Can anyone suggest search terms that locate the previous submissions of this video? Thanks.
- misham 15y agoColin, I just did a search for the Professors name, Albert Bartlett, and found the following thread: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1382456 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1382456 No, I did not check if this was posted before. However, these videos do such a fantastic job of explaining exponential growth and how such growth applies to our every-day lives I felt that I had to share them, even if they have been posted before. I wish I saw this lecture while I was in school, the connection to real-life would have made the theory so much easier to grasp. Heck, I wish all of my teachers were like Dr. Bartlett, but that's not possible. I'm really glad to have found this lecture and I wanted to share it with others who may not have been aware of it.
