Learning objectives
- Explain Potential Method and Formal Amortized Cost Accounting in the language of the current curriculum, not just the source book.
- Apply Potential Method and Formal Amortized Cost Accounting to one concrete learner task or example inside this semester.
- Use
introduction-to-algorithms-clrsas 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.
