Reference excerpt

Rajeev Ramnarain Rastogi is an Indian computer scientist who graduated from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, where he got his Bachelor of Science degree in 1988. He received his Master's and Doctoral degrees from the University of Texas in 1990, and 1993 respectively. Rastogi was born on 6 August 1967. In 1993, Rastogi started working at Bell Labs in Murray Hill, New Jersey. He became member of technical staff at its Information Sciences Research Center. Five years later he held the Distinguished Member of Technical Staff position and by 1999 became a director of the Internet Management Research Department and became a Bell Labs fellow in 2003. In 2012, he became a fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery "for contributions to the analysis and management of large data sets." He was vice president of Yahoo Labs in Bangalore and is currently serving as vice president of Machine Learning on Amazon. He has over 200 peer-reviewed articles with the CURE: An Efficient Clustering Algorithm for Large Databases which received over 3,100 citations since 1998, bringing him an h-index of 63.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Rajeev Rastogi

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Rajeev Rastogi claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In computer science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Rajeev Rastogi before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Rajeev Rastogi ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Rajeev Rastogi

In research: Rajeev Rastogi appears in computer science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Rajeev Rastogi in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Rajeev Rastogi is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1967 births, Amazon (company) people, Computer scientist stubs, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Rajeev Rastogi outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
