the computer is the dumbest thing in the world and if you can teach it to do what you have learned, you must have learned it sufficiently well.
no more fancy theory and building sandcastles in the air. i now prefer to get my hands dirty. instead of taking exams, DO projects and assignments.
now trying out a class called SICM. Structure and Interpretation of Classical Mechanics. It's conducted by Gerald Jay Sussman who co-wrote both SICP (.. of Computer Programs) and SICM. That means we are going to do mechanics using Scheme and unfortunately Emacs too.
