Comment Re:" known pattern" (Score 1) 384

That is a good way to think of it. To mathematicians these are " known pattern" but to the average person they might as well be magic. I know plenty of women who are "not good at math" but can make complex crochet and needlepoint patterns without thinking about it. To them, those are just " known pattern".

Surprised nobody seems to have mentioned the Berkley Webcast yet. http://webcast.berkeley.edu/ It is an online collection of class videos, lectures, and course materials for a variety of subjects including computer science.
Their into to CS is much easier to get into for a beginner than the MIT OpenCourseWare. http://ocw.mit.edu/index.htm

Comment Discrete Math and the CS Student (Score 1) 197

It seems to me that both Math and CS students could use some more "set theory" training. We live in a world full of information. Sorting, arranging, and reporting on that data is becoming a bigger task. Even a small business has more data than you can manually validate. You need some good database setup and understanding to make sure what you get out of it is correct.
