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. ==Computer The Devil's Languages==

[[Aidan Finley '04]http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=08xjh Jerry He] Spent a week teaching it to himself during his thesis crunch, which indirectly contributed to a case of sleep deprivation and a subsequent fall in Sawyer Library.

[[Laurie BrinkTed Wiles]] sort-of-(Ted is an amazing hacker and programmer. It isn'05 (disputes that this t uncommon for his digg.com articles to yield over 250 diggs in one day. He also is actually passionate about his art and has plans to do a "computer skill," seeing as the charming thing about AppleWorks thesis senior year that allows him to reinterpret famous art works completely through graphic design software. He is that it's infinitely more user-friendly and intuitive than Microsoft Officealso very good at hacking.)
