You don&#x27;t have to use <i>those</i> words. For instance, for<p>n &gt;&gt; k &gt;&gt; ln(n) &gt;&gt; 1,<p>he says &quot;Specifically, we require n much greater than k much greater than log n much greater than one&quot;, and says it&#x27;s unwieldy. Well, if you say it like that, then it is.<p>&quot;Specifically, we require than the magnitudes of n, k, log n, and one be in decreasing order with significant distance between each.&quot;<p>Not a problem. Just don&#x27;t try to read notation literally in the order it&#x27;s written.
