(Might have happened!) Growth One person did ask a good question: he asked that anyone with young kids who like Barbie to report back on how they react to CpE Barbie. – Tom Horton #1 #2 One-Slide Summary Outline • The basic recursive computation of Fibonacci can • Sneezewort and Fibonacci take quite a while. There are faster ways . • Cost of computing Fibonacci • We can formally measure and evaluate the cost of • Cost of sorting a computer program. We abstract away details • Intro to Big-Oh Notation such as processor speed and instead measure how the solving time increases as the input increases . • g is in O(f) iff there exist positive constants c and n 0 such that g( n ) ≤ c f( n ) for all n ≥ n 0 . • If g is in O(f) we say that f is an upper bound for g. #3 #4 Sneezewort • Achillea ptarmica is real. • It is “moste efficacious in the inflaming of the braine, and [is] "V" shrubbery therefore much used in Confusing by Andrew Jesien, Becky Elstad and Befuddlement Draughts, where the wizard is desirous of producing hot-headedness and recklessness.” – Order of the Phoenix, p.18 After the Incident • Sneezewort's pattern of by Ben Morrison and Liz Peterson development displays the Robot Cav Man Fibonacci sequence. by Jamie Jeon & Walter Borges #5 #6

Volta studied invents a teleportation machine for Wolverine what we now call capacitance, developing so that he can defeat Batman in a magic trick separate means to study both electrical competition because he thinks Batman killed potential V and charge Q , and discovering that his wife. for a given object they are proportional. His experiments in “animal electricity”, in which two different metals were connected in series with frog's legs, eventually led to his most famous discovery.
