 * Seems to be at least extremely similar; this seems to present the problem as maximizing number of tasks given fixed total time, whereas the other seem to present it as minimizing total "cost" given a fixed list of tasks, but that seems a fairly narrow distinction. Not my field, though... Bryanrutherford0 (talk) 01:55, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

Too cryptic
For someone who understands the language of the symbols, it might make sense, but for anyone else it's hopeless. Just exactly what kind of notation is this? A reference to a primer on set notation would be helpful, if it is set notation.
