Fwd: [sfx: Discuss] Higher Ed in Santa Fe: CS 500 Theory of Computation

[Owen Densmore]

Gang: Here's more information on the SFCC/UNM/ITV course.  The  
attachment has the up-to-date syllabus.

I'd *really* like someone else to take this, we need the start of  
higher ed here in Santa Fe to be successful.  A lot of us *use*  
computers, but many of us do not understand the fundamentals of  
computation.  I was certainly surprised when I started digging into  
automata, decidability, and computational complexity.  Cris is a great  
lecturer too, he's presented at the SFI summer school and was very  
well received.

And there are other ITV courses we would like as well, so this is not  
only for Cris's class, there will be others as we start becoming more  
involved with UNM via ITV.  Hopefully this is the kickoff for several  
more to come.
