Induction

by djmathman, Oct 11, 2016, 11:26 PM

What if I told you that one of the problems on one of my homework assignments this week was an induction problem whose writeup takes up $2\tfrac13$ pages in $\LaTeX$? You'd probably say "that's a lot, but I'm not surprised because college is hard". This is a fair assessment to make.

Now what if I told you the homework assignment was for a computer science course, and that this induction is being used to analyze code?

Welcome to the world of 15-150, folks

Isn't computer analysis like math with computers basicaly? College is hard I'm not surprised even for non math things.

Yeah latex is annoying especially when you could probably do it better on microsoft word.

  • Do you have a link to your main blog that you started after graduating from high school, I couldn't find it. @dj I met you IRL at Awesome Math summer Program several years ago.
