Learning objectives​

  • Explain Comparison Sorting Has an (\Omega(n \log n)) Lower Bound in the language of the current curriculum, not just the source book.
  • Apply Comparison Sorting Has an (\Omega(n \log n)) Lower Bound to one concrete learner task or example inside this semester.
  • Use introduction-to-algorithms-clrs, the-algorithm-design-manual as a selective source of truth when the learner-facing explanation is not enough.

Prerequisites​

  • The earlier concept pages and practice tasks in the current module.

Source books​

  • introduction-to-algorithms-clrs
