Randomized rounding

Within computer science and operations research,many combinatorial optimization problems are computationally intractable to solve exactly (to optimality).Many such problems do admit fast (polynomial time) approximation algorithms—that is, algorithms that are guaranteed to return an approximately optimal solution given any input. Randomized roundingis a widely used approach for designing and analyzing such approximation algorithms. The basic idea is to use the probabilistic methodto convert an optimal solution of a relaxationof the problem into an approximately optimal solution to the original problem. (Wikipedia).

Basic Math - Using rounding to estimate sums

Rounding is an important process, but is really shines when we are estimating sum. This is because it is often easier to do rounded numbers in our head. Check out this video for some tips on this process. For more videos please visit http://www.mysecretmathtutor.com
