Fwiw, imvho, fractals and games have always seemed like a fairly nice way to introduce both programming and math to youngsters. A kid says they do not like math and will never end up using a lot of it anyway. Well, show them a wild fractal animation and/or a cool game, and ask if they like it. If the answer is anything close to yes: Try to explain to them how math and programming made it possible. Sometimes, it can create a lasting spark, so to speak... |

But it sounded to me he was going for things like algebra, and the parts of mathematics that are more about proving things. I may be wrong, but the connection between that aspect of maths and programming seems a bit weak. /Jorgen -- // Jorgen Grahn <grahn@ Oo o. . . \X/ snipabacken.se> O o . |

It will cause you much pain and agony to know what Christ endured on that cross to save you in your sin. You will weep like you never wept before ... wrenchingly even. With a pain from so deep inside even. That was my experience from when I used to treat people as you do. It broke my heart when I could see my actions through proper eyes, through the eyes of Christ. Thank you, Rick C. Hodgin |

Actually, before I knew programming, there was this nagging feeling in the back of my head: Wanted to figure out how the damn games were created! Got a Atari 800XL around 1983. Then moved onto Apple IIGS several years later. Check this out: http://www.calormen.com/jsbasic (AppleSoft BASIC Online...) ;^) > These computers nowadays does not make programmers any more... Perhaps. |
