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!
