Why did mathematicians allow this?

>> No.10586856

>>10586841
I don't know. I think they only introduced these names because it makes them feel smarter. No one really understands what is meant by "dynamic programming" except that it must be very difficult stuff which is it arguably not.

Mathematics is the highest form of respecting free will.

linear programming predates computer programming
>The term "linear programming" for certain optimization cases was due to George B. Dantzig, although much of the theory had been introduced by Leonid Kantorovich in 1939. (Programming in this context does not refer to computer programming, but comes from the use of program by the United States military to refer to proposed training and logistics schedules, which were the problems Dantzig studied at that time.) Dantzig published the Simplex algorithm in 1947, and John von Neumann developed the theory of duality in the same year.

finite dimensional programming

>> No.10587519

>>10586841
I thought dynamic programming was when you store computed values in variables instead of having to compute them over and over

>> No.10588092

>>10587519
afaik that's memoization

>> No.10588520

>>10587519
that's a part of it but not the definition

generally in dynamic programming you use subproblems you already computed to solve a larger problem

>> No.10588540

Elaborate please these words sound nice
