There is nothing more difficult to take in hand,more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its sucess,than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things
- NICCOLO MACHIAVELLI,THE PRINCE
Last semester of my engineering degree has come ,juniors say its the time to get nostalgic but i say the time to be nostalgic is only when its over dead and buried and we are singing our victory dance on some roof top.We have a subject this semester that revived my interest in Computer Science .
i have taken parallel computing(sometimes i think its common sense computing) its been hardly a month and i have taken a class on parallel computing(only five minutes)
proving odd even transposition sorting.
Reading material on sorting trying to find networks intuitively Reading The Art of Computer Programming Vol-3 by Knuth its fascinating book containing lots of quotations AND LOTS OF MATHEMATICS..
Hope to read this book atleast once before this semester ends that's all.
Attended ur class of so called Common Sense Computing. The proof of the sorting network given by u couldn't have been simpler... thanks !
ReplyDeleteBut for me PCO is not so edible yaar. it's getting hard and hard to digest ! May be I missing something basic, let's see how long it takes b4 I get into that.
