The n-th Smallest Term for any Finite Sequence of Real Numbers | Chapter 5 | Mathematics and Computer Science: Contemporary Developments Vol. 5

This paper presents various methods for determining the formula that gives the n-th smallest term in a given finite sequence of real numbers. We introduce recursive methods, MAX-MIN methods, and MIN-MAX methods, and compare their computational effciency. As an aplication, we find a formula that gives the median of any finite sequence of real numbers.
