POSTFIX NOTATION Postfix also known as Reverse Polish Notation (or RPN)‚ is a notational system where the operation/function follows the arguments. For example‚ "1 2 add" would be postfix notation for adding the numbers 1 and 2. Most programming languages use either prefix notation ("add(1‚ 2)" or "(add 1 2)") or infix notation ("1 add 2" or "1 + 2"). Prefix and infix are more familiar to most people‚ as they are the standard notations used for arithmetic and algebra. Why then should we use postfix

directions of search for efficient algorithms. Big O notation In computer science‚ big O notation is used to classify algorithms by how they respond (e.g.‚ in their processing time or working space requirements) to changes in input size. Big O notation characterizes functions according to their growth rates: different functions with the same growth rate may be represented using the same O notation. A description of a function in terms of big O notation usually only provides an upper bound on the growth

SCIENTIFIC NOTATION * Scientific notation is a way of writing very large and very small numbers in a compact form. * A number written in scientific notation is written in the form: a x 10b WRITING A NUMBER IN SCIENTIFIC NOTATION * Shift the decimal point so that there is one digit before the decimal point. * Multiply by a power of 10‚ equal to the number of places the decimal point has been moved. * The power of 10 is positive if the decimal point is moved to the left and negative

Scientific Notation II. Objectives: To be able to fully understand the lesson‚ the student must learn: a. the definition of scientific notation b. the purpose of scientific notation c. how to make a number in scientific notation and vice versa III. Motivation: Recalling the names of numbers by its number of zeroes IV. Lesson Proper: * A number is in scientific notation when it is written as N x 10n‚ where 1<N<10 and n is an integer. * Scientific notation is used
