TL;DR: The presented approach may be considered as an alternative to fuzzy sets theory and tolerance theory and some applications are outlined.

TL;DR: The purpose of this note is to present an informal description of the L3-algorithm, a polynomial-time algorithm for factoring polynomials in one variable with rational coefficients that came as a rather big surprise.
Abstract: In 1982 a polynomial-time algorithm for factoring polynomials in one variable with rational coefficients was published (see A.K. Lenstra, H.W. Lenstra, Jr. and L. Lovasz, Math. Ann., vol.261, p.515-34, 1982). This L3-algorithm came as a rather big surprise: hardly anybody expected that the problem allowed solution in polynomial time. The purpose of this note is to present an informal description of the L3-algorithm

TL;DR: The question of the desirable properties and proper definitions of the Order-of-Magnitude symbols, in particular O and O, is addressed once more in this paper, where the definitions proposed are chosen for complementary mathematical properties, rather than for similarity of form.
