Section 4.2, due November 7

Reading through the proof of Chebechev was a little confusing. It was difficult to follow all of the algebra and substitutions that were made. It makes more sense looking over it again, but still, it was tough with all the identities used and substitutions.

I have heard of big and little o before, and I remember it having something to do with the time it takes to solve a particular problem. It was also connected with the unsolved p = np, but I am not completely sure. Perhaps I am piecing two things together which are actually unrelated.
