Math

I realized my problem on this field when I read Knuth's TAO Computer Programming. I needed 3 months just for understanding chapter 1.1. and unable to solve even one problem. Instead of solving the problem I can only proved the answer which is provided. And now I must live with it. Such a monstrous alien living beneath my skin. Soccoro!!
A couple year life in procedural mechanism, made my math skill undeveloped even decreased. Some contacts have been established to be my tutor. Thanks God.


Recently I found some famous Linux terms that was derived from mathemathical terms. Linux engineer must be also good mathematician. init-bottom which is appeared on the beginning of linux booting process is depicting the lower partial ordered set on lattice of set theorem. So does top, which is a command to monitoring all task that currently runs, it is the highest partial ordered set on a lattice. This init-bottom and top depict such a complete lattice. Whohoho, almost a decade living with it, I just notice it now. Poor computer science student!

is it a kidding headline news?



If you are living in East Java maybe you're familiar with this kind of headline news, yes you're right Jawa Pos. Self reportation news on the headline!

But realizing this layout is belong to The Jakarta Post....
Maybe they can excuse that these days are important day of the newspaper, but is it necessary to be a picture headline?
