	Analysis of algorithms - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Usually the efficiency or complexity of an algorithm is stated as a function relating the input length to the number of steps (time complexity) or storage locations (space or memory complexity) required to execute the algorithm.
		Algorithm analysis is an important part of a broader computational complexity theory, which provides theoretical estimates for the resources needed by any algorithm which solves a given computational problem.
		In theoretical analysis of algorithms it is common to estimate their complexity in asymptotic sense, i.e., to estimate the complexity function for reasonably large length of input.

	Numerical analysis - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Numerical analysis is the study of algorithms for the problems of continuous mathematics (as distinguished from discrete mathematics).
		A related art is to find stable algorithms for solving ill-posed problems, which generally requires finding a well-posed problem whose solution is close to that of the ill-posed problem and solving this well-posed problem instead.
		Root-finding algorithms are used to solve nonlinear equations (they are so named since a root of a function is an argument for which the function yields zero).

	Fibonacci Numbers
		By analyzing an algorithm, we gain a better understanding of where the fast and slow parts are, and what to work on or work around in order to speed it up.
		This is an iterative algorithm (one that uses loops instead of recursion) so we analyze it a little differently than we would a recursive algorithm.
		Analysis of recursive program space is more complicated: the space used at any time is the total space used by all recursive calls active at that time.

	Analysis of Algorithms
		Give an algorithm that solves a problem, we would like to be able to predict with confidence how long it will take, how much memory it will use, or how much of some other scarce resource it will consume.
		The main difference between applying the scientific method to the natural sciences and to the analysis of algorithms is that the "universe" we are observing is the computer itself.
		The observation that one algorithm is 10 times faster than another is unlikely to escape the notice of someone who waits 3 seconds for one to finish and 30 seconds for the other, but it is easy to overlook a small constant in a mathematical analysis.

	Analysis of Algorithms
		ANALYSIS OF ALGORITHMS is the branch of theoretical computer science concerned with characterizing the computer resources required by an algorithm.
		We wish to characterize these resource requirements as functions of one or more of the "essential parameters" (from the standpoint of the resource to be measured) describing the data operated on by the algorithm.
		The interesting questions in analysis of algorithms usually are concerned with values of the "essential parameters" that tend to make an algorithm run slowly -- for example, n tending to infinity, if n is the size of a list to be sorted.

		Quite a few algorithms are presented and analyzed in great detail, but the emphasis is on the analysis techniques rather than on the algorithms.
