Working on a factorial paper

Posted August 15th, 2007 by Mgccl

Math

I haven't posted for a few days.
so I just let you guys know what I'm working on.
I'm working on proving an factorial algorithm is better than the naive one. Which include finding the complexity of each algorithm(this complexity does not assume multiplication of 2 numbers have the same complexity when the digit of each number change)
You might want to check out my blog after 2 weeks since I will be working on that with all my FREE time.

Problem-Solving Strategies

Books
Math

Problem-Solving Strategies was recommended by Simon as THE BOOK for me if I ever want to join USAMO.

I received my International version at 4/21/08. International version is a lot more cheaper but only allowed to be sold in a few developing countries.

How great is this book? After reading the first 2 pages I'm already convinced that anyone who seriously wants to prepare for high school and college math contests should get this book, unless you created math from scratch, which I know you didn't.

Look at the Amazon product review. All the reviewer credit it a 5.
I will rate it soon, when I get at least half way into the book.

Wait for my review when the status change to Already Read.
