Intro

Submitted by ssv on Mon, 01/26/2009 - 1:01am.

Hi, I'm Stephanie, a sophomore Computer Science major at Bryn Mawr.  Even though I have come from a natural-language based background (having lots of years studying many languages), I have grown to love systems, algorithms and logic-based thinking.  And in turn, I'm interested in this class because of how we can apply some computer theory into life's patterns--what can be observed.  I love to try to visualize information.

A few questions, spurred by my interest:

How complex is an emerging system?

Can computer science really cover all facets when modelling a system?

How can we apply success/failure rates (inspired by Carol's last question) to modelling a system as a program with Boolean values?
