re: #174 thedopefishlives

Admittedly, I haven’t done any of that sort of stuff in my daily work. Again, not intrinsically useful. I find it more useful in being able to derive analysis of my own algorithms; taking one look at a bit of code and saying, “Christ on a cracker, this is a terrible idea. It’ll take FOREVER to run.”

That level of analysis is well within my capabilities right now.

The current homework assignment wants probability maths like I haven’t done since high school. :(

It feels like there are interesting and useful parts here that I could learn without getting bogged down into the mess of PROOFS that is the homework every week.
