What level(s) of intensity would you MOST enjoy?

• Very low: I want to hold these discussions over brunch.
• Low: I don't mind scribbling a little on scratch paper from time to time.
• Moderate: I want to learn something, damn it.
• High: I want to really sweat it out during the sessions.
• Intense: If I'm not having nightmares of being eaten by equations, I'm not happy.

   Sudkamp’s Languages and Machines (already got a copy!)

   I’d also be interested in statistics, or in a study group for Wolfram’s NKS.

   I feel the need to put the kibosh on NKS. Statistics would be fun, but if you want to do straight math, we should probably integrate it into the Math Mondays schedule.

   I’m a lot more interested in languages and computation than OS and network type stuff… I’ll probably bow out if folks want to go that route.

   That’s cool. If there’s a tie with Sipser and something else, I’ll go with Sipser. Because, like, you know, theoretical underpinnings are the bomb and all that.

   I’m in, regardless of the choice of material
