CS 101/Additional Materials/Chapter 18

http://www.computing.dcu.ie/~dfitzpat/content/computers-strengths-and-limitations Date Retrieved: 12/4/15 Peter Doyle The title of chapter 18 is Limitations of Computing and the above article discusses just that. The article breaks down each part of a computer and provides us with its strengths as well as a list of its weaknesses. These weaknesses expose the computer's limitations. It is helpful because it shows us the positives as well as the negatives of computing.

http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-fundamental-physical-limits-of-computation/ 12/7/2015 I found this article very interesting. It talks about the phyisical limits of computing software and hardware. I think that the article makes a great point for the current state of computer technology but does not considered that the technology could develop at insane rates in the future allowing more and more speed and accuracy.

Error-Correcting Codes
http://users.ece.cmu.edu/~koopman/des_s99/coding/ Coding for Error Detection and Correction Spring 1999 Carnegie Mellon University This site contains an index of web pages which provides instruction in numerous areas of error detection and correction. It is well beyond what Chapter 18 contains but is most interesting to a computer science major. Bob Lafrance

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBBTWcHkVVY this is honestly one of the best videos ive seen for error correcting, it made me understand it a lot more, a good visual aspect of error coding -Liz Cochrane

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LiGiU7zrLnU this shows how to correct errors with a good visual. Rebecca Campbell

Big-O Analysis
https://www.interviewcake.com/article/python/big-o-notation-time-and-space-complexity Date Added 12/12/15. This website gives a more simplified view of what Big O notation does. It talks about the idea that is behind Big O notation, and it breaks down the steps of what Big O is used to analysis. This website also shows a few examples of coding, what the notation for each example is, and how they got that number. ~Caitlyn Lambert-Hutchinson

https://justin.abrah.ms/computer-science/big-o-notation-explained.html This webpage explains the Big O notation from a computer programmer who taught himself. They make it very easy to understand and explain everything in clear detail. Date Created: Unknown. Date Added: 5/1/2016. - Samantha Stuart
