You're right, it is begging the question, for any simple function, you basically have to tell it what all the derivatives are for it to work. The power of this technique is that it…

Thanks! fixing...

You're right, there's only O(n) information in these particular n x n matrices, so you can multiply them in O(n^2). The code provided memoizes cell values using the key (r - c), so…

Thanks! What's your research on?

Yeah, I failed there. The whole article started out jokey but I ended up cramming a bunch more "serious" analysis in.

Really appreciate the feedback, comes with the territory :) I added an update to the article looking at what happens when you vary the average car length (corresponding to the % of…

FWIW I tried this out, seeing what happens when there are varying average car lengths on the road. http://jliszka.github.io/assets/img/traffic/speed-vs-occupan... http://localhost:…
