Concrete Mathematics

一 直想找本书来把自己的数学补一补,没有办法,既然选择了research,也就选择了一直要与数学为伴。在amazon上发现了这本"Concrete Mathematics"。光是看这本书作者,就绝对值得一读。读了前言,原来这本书是The Art of Computer Programming中数学基础部分的扩充版本,它对algorithm analysis and design一定会有很大的帮助。一时兴起,看了看第一章,讲的是recurrent problem,第一个例子就是经典的the tower of Hanoi,讲的很细致,重点在于如何利用recurrent来解决实际问题。既然读了一些,索性做个小小的总结:
通常一个recurrent problem都会经历四个阶段:
  1. Start from small extreme cases。通过分析观察small cases,可以发现general pattern。
  2. Generalize the problem。因为这样可以很有效的控制问题的规模以及更好的描述问题。
  3. Find Recurrent Mathematical Expression of the solution,并且证明其正确性,但这不是终点,因为result Tn依赖于Tn-1,当n很大时,想要获得答案将会引入大量的计算。
  4. Find Close formed Mathematical Expression of the solution。并且利用mathematical induction证明其正确性。close formed意为result Tn不依赖于Tn-1,通过最基本的运算即可获得答案。运算量大大的降低了。
