BlackwellIf life were really fair, algebra would actually come in handy-Amstel Light commercial-Which algorithm is better? X or Y?CompSci 100e13.4On programming and deadlinesObserve that for the programmer, as the chef, the urgency of the patron may govern the scheduled completion of task, but it cannot govern the actual completion. An omelet, promised in two minutes, may appear to be progressing nicely. But when it has not set in two minutes, the customer has two choices -- wait or eat it raw. Software customers have the same choices..-Fred BrooksWe don’t have time to stop for gas -- we’re already late.-Old software project planning proverb via Mike CleronI love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by. -Douglas AdamsCompSci 100e13.5What’s nextCompSci 102: Discrete MathematicsUnderstand the Math that underlies CSCompSci 104: Computer Organization, Design, & ProgrammingUnderstand the machine at a lower levelCompSci 108: Software DesignProgramming at a larger scaleOther choicesCompSci 182s: Intellectual Property and Internet ProtocolsCompSci 160: Computational GenomicsCompSci 140: Formal Languages & Automata TheoryCompSci 150: Numerical AnalysisInterdisciplinary minorComputational Biology & BioinformaticsComputational EconomicsCompSci 100e13.6On educationThe college you attend does not determine the scope and possibility of your life’s achievements. It will have some influence, no doubt. What is more important is the encouragement that we, as parents and friends, offer these prospective students as they explore their own educational trail. In the end, the experiences they encounter and the depth of character they build along the way will mean far more than the name of the institution on their diploma.-John HennessyEducation is not filling a bucket but lighting a fire. -William YeatsCompSci 100e13.7On educationAn education isn’t how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It’s being able to differentiate between what you know and what you don’t.-Anatole FranceThe best way to have a good idea is to have lots of ideas.-Linus PaulingIf there is no struggle, there is no progress-Frederick DouglassThe ability to quote is a serviceable substitute for wit. -W.
