Key Concepts
-
Term: Matrix Multiplication
Definition: The process of combining two matrices to produce a third matrix, where each entry is obtained by taking the dot product of rows and columns.
-
Term: Associative Property
Definition: A mathematical property that allows for the regrouping of terms in operations without affecting the outcome, crucial for matrix multiplication.
-
Term: Dynamic Programming
Definition: An algorithmic paradigm that solves complex problems by breaking them down into simpler subproblems, storing results to avoid redundant computations.
-
Term: Computational Complexity
Definition: A measure of the amount of computational resources that an algorithm consumes relative to the input size.
-
Term: Optimal Parenthesization
Definition: The process of determining the most efficient way to arrange the factors in a matrix multiplication to minimize total computational cost.
