I'm taking a basic computer programming course next year. If I have to learn all those equations linked to in your blog, I'm scuppered. (IMG:

Now, as an aspiring librarian, you and your wife's
Architectonics article does intrigue me. Vannevar Bush's "
As We May Think" and his description of an online library catalog comes to mind. I'll have to read your article in more detail later. (IMG:

Cook's Theorem is a basic result in the study of Computational Complexity, and probably wouldn't come up in anything more than a hand-waving goodbye for now sort of way in a first programming course. But you might find that GLL blog fun to sample from time to time just to get interesting highlights and amusing sidelights on the field. That DATA project is my particular spin on the subject and you needn't fear it showing up in textbooks anytime soon, if ever.
