Hi, I noticed in mathematics the O symbol is used in the following way:
A term T is in O(x^p), if lim x->0 T/x^p=c, for a constant c.
While in computer science the O symbol is used is this way:
A term T is in O(x^p), if lim x->∞ T/x^p is a constant.
What gives, these two notations seem to be the complete opposite of each other?
