[Edu-sig] update: satacad python pdx

[Kirby Urner]

Well, it's the start of our business calendar in 2005, and time to see
what's up with the accounts (accounts at 4dsolutions.net).  I big part of my
month is allocated to this computer course, around which I built my grant
proposal to the PSF.  Now let's see if it's going to actually happen.  I
think from my side (the teacher), I've completed all the necessary paper
work.

Hi Gini --

Still trying to figure out if there's a class next Saturday, that I'm
teaching, but for which I have no student list nor conception of the room
I'm to use at OGI or wherever.  

Is anyone signed up for: Math & Programming: From Chaos to Python?

Rest of course description, tacked on for edu-sig archive:

Explore topics in mathematics by writing and modifying programs in a
contemporary computer language.

A goal of this class is to help you gain proficiency as a programmer, while
delving into number theory, group theory, chaos and fractals, cryptography,
3D graphics and more. A primary tool will be Python, an object oriented,
uncluttered, general purpose language.  For contrast and mind expansion, the
J language will also be introduced.

Instructor: Kirby Urner, with a BA in philosophy from Princeton University ,
is a computer programmer and educator. He has developed computer literacy
products for McGraw-Hill and is a former high school mathematics teacher.
