Understanding the Importance of Worst-Case Analysis vs Best-Case Analysis
This podcast discusses the importance of analyzing the worst-case scenario in algorithms, especially analyzing average case probabilistic. The problem of cities, pairwise distances between cities, and finding a tour through all the cities that minimizes the total cost of all the edges traversed is also discussed.
