asymptotic upper bound for the magnitude of a function in terms of another, usually simpler, function. It has two main areas of application in mathematics, it is usually used to characterize the residual term of a truncated infinite series, especially an asymptotic series, and in computer science, it is useful in the analysis of the complexity of algorithms. Big-O Notation is short for order of growth notation. It is defined as given two function t(n) and g(n), we say that t(n) = O(g(n)) if there exist
fact of human experience and knowledge. Motion is everywhere and we causes existence to happen. The first way is formulated as follows: There is motion in the world and this motion is caused by something else that moves.
