MHB Unpacking the Master Theorem: Understanding its Proof and Cases

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around proving a specific theorem through an iterative approach. Participants emphasize the need to clarify which cases correspond to different scenarios: when the first term is dominant, when each part of the summation is equally dominant, and when the summation behaves like a geometric series. There is a call for further explanation and justification for these distinctions to strengthen the proof.

Now I found the following proof:

Don't we have to explain further which case correponds to which of the following cases

  • The first term is dominant.
  • Each part of the summation is equally dominant.
  • The summation is a geometric series

and justify why it is like that? (Thinking)

Thread 'Star maps using Blender'
Blender just recently dropped a new version, 4.5(with 5.0 on the horizon), and within it was a new feature for which I immediately thought of a use for. The new feature was a .csv importer for Geometry nodes. Geometry nodes are a method of modelling that uses a node tree to create 3D models which offers more flexibility than straight modeling does. The .csv importer node allows you to bring in a .csv file and use the data in it to control aspects of your model. So for example, if you...
I tried a web search "the loss of programming ", and found an article saying that all aspects of writing, developing, and testing software programs will one day all be handled through artificial intelligence. One must wonder then, who is responsible. WHO is responsible for any problems, bugs, deficiencies, or whatever malfunctions which the programs make their users endure? Things may work wrong however the "wrong" happens. AI needs to fix the problems for the users. Any way to...
