niktemadurIn science lectures and podcasts, I hear the terms "trivial" and "naive" used often, with no explanation as to what they mean specifically by that. What do they mean by "trivial" and "naive"?
The way I understand it, trivial is something that takes little to no effort to accomplish; naive, without previous knowledge or without solid assumptions about a problem.
Naïve can also mean research subjects or animals before or without exposure to some operation or treatment.
