Complexity Of Computations

Published:04 December 1978Publication History

ABSTRACT

Construction of algorithms is a time honored mathematical activity. Euclid's algorithm for finding the greatest common divisor of two integers, as well as the many constructions by a ruler and compass are some of the fruits of the search for algorithms by the Greek mathematicians. In our days, we have the whole field of Numerical Analysis devoted to finding a variety of algorithms for numerical integration of differential equations.
