《算法导论(第4版)》学习第 11 天,p18-p31 总结,总计 4 页。

一、技术总结

1. Fourier transform(傅里叶变换)

In mathematics, the Fourier transform (FT) is an integral transform that takes a function as input then outputs another function that describes the extent to which various frequencies are present in the original function.

当看到 Fourier 一下没反应过了是“傅里叶”, 那就记一下吧。

二、英语总结(生词:3)

1. elicit

(1)elicit: e-("out") + -licere("to entice, lure, deceive, 诱惑")

vt. elicit literally means "to draw out by enticing"; to call forth or draw out sth(引起,引发,引出)。

(2)示例

We also need to be clear about whether we are discussing the running time for an input that elicits the worst-case behavior, the best-case behavior, or some other case(《《算法导论(第4版)》》第 26 页)。

上面这句话的意思是:我们还需要明确我们讨论的是哪种情况下的算法运行时间:是输入引发最优行为的情况,还是输入引发最差行为的情况,亦或是其它情况。

2. educated

(1)educated

adj. 1. having an education(受过教育的)。2. 比喻意义用法:based on some knowledge of fact(有根据的,有依据的)。

(2)示例

You need not make some educated guess about the running time and hope that it never gets much worse(《《算法导论(第4版)》》第 31 页)。

上面这句话的意思是:你无需对运行时间做出某种有根据的猜测,您也无需担心运行时间会变得更长。

3. fairly

(1)fair

adj. 1. impartial and justice(公平的,合理的)。2. moderately numerous, large, or significant(相当的)。

(2)fairly: fair + -ly

adv. 1. justly(公平地)。2. to a moderately high degree,less than very(相当地,表示程度的副词)。

(3)示例

For some algorithms, the worst case occurs fairly often(《《算法导论(第4版)》》第 31 页)。

因为“公平地”和“相当地”意思相差有点大,同时我只记住了"公平",导致自己每次看到 fairly 脑子都要卡一下——“公平地”意思说不通啊,单词没有记错吧?这里捋一下。
