 | This page has been set as outdated, as it is part of the old (2003-2013) Willipedia. This page is now here purely for archival purposes; updating it would be to no purpose. |
Here's a place to let people know what, exactly, you can hack. (Or use.) (Edited to remove graduated students. Revert if you feel that is wrong.)
Also for those who feel that they are inadequate because they cannot program in TeX/Mathematica, there will be workshops on these topics during Winter Study. All Math majors will receive an email about this soon. Anyone else can sign up by emailing Rahul Shah (09ras) or look in the daily messages/other appropriate communication media.
The Devil's Languages
Assembly Language
Jing Cao now knows he should extend before division
