Those Darn Mathematicians
Who says mathematicians don’t have a sense of humor? Well, if *anyone* does, they are certainly wrong. Anyone (CS students?) who knows what a tree is probably agrees that is an appropriate name, as well as the name for the related entities, leaves. But there is also a forest, which is a graph whose components are all trees. Interesting huh? Clever certainly.
Also, I’ve been looking at this tool,Textile, for the past 5 minutes, and I’m considering whether it would be worth the effort to set up the same thing, or something similar on this site. On one hand, it would save me time, a thing greatly to be desired, as well as give me more expressive power. But on the other, I would have to take the time to set it up. I hate setting things up on my own computer, much less one that I can only access remotely through a rather slow SSH connection.
