In preparing a tutorial on binary trees I am looking for an
introductory article on Big-Oh Notation.  The NIST article at
http://www.itl.nist.gov/div897/sqg/dads/HTML/bigOnotation.html
is, as expected, excellent - if you are comfortable with mathematics.
The students at whom this tutorial is aimed struggle with mathematics,
and would be much more comfortable with Rob Bell's article at
http://rob-bell.net/2009/06/a-beginners-guide-to-big-o-notation/.

Unfortunately, the examples in Rob's article are not in Ada.

Can anyone point me to a tutorial at a similar level to Rob's in which
Ada examples are used?

Thanks
