Most likely I used a poor choice of words, more like I don't understand it. I want to know more, but my knowledge is limited and nobody seems to be able to explain it to me in a way that I can understand.
In all honest I don't understand any of it. When I ask about it, instead of explaining it to me, most people just link to the Wikipedia article, instead of using their own words. I've read the Wikipedia article, and I don't understand any of it.
My perception is that it does not follow any logic or reason that I understand, there is nothing that I can understand from it, and I don't want to be ignorant on the subject, I want to learn it.
- sold 14y agoYou have major gaps in knowledge (for example, in this thread you effectively said you don't know asymptotic analysis of algorithms). Start with something simpler - check what is a polynomial, big O, a Turing machine etc. Backtrack to simple things. Be persistent. Search for a textbook like Cormen's Introduction to Algorithms or Hopcroft/Ullman's Introduction to Automata Theory, and slowly read it. You can't be helped by using "my own words"; my own word for "polynomial" is "polynomial", it is commonly accepted and understood by the computer science community. It can't be dumbed down.
