Kick-Ass HSSP Students

[ch3cooh]

Nice!  My HSSP students are SO shiny!  Fringes of Chaos II is officially on for next spring.  I mean, I gave them this:

IFS Fractals, Hausdorff Dimension, Topological Dimension, The Mandelbrot Set, The Chaos Game, Fractals In nature, Colors of Noise, Neural Nets, Intro to Cellular Automata, The game of Life, Fractals in Literature, Fractals in Ancient Art and Architecture,  Rigorously Defined Chaos, Significant Dependence on Initial Conditions, Strange Attractors, The Logistic Equation, Lorenz's Water Wheel, Shannon's Coding, Rigorously Defined Information Entropy, The Philosophy of Entropy in Physics, The Carnot Engine, and Arcadia, by Tom Stoppard

and they still want more!  And so this:

More Information Theory, Statistical Mechanics (thermo), Intro to Continuum Systems, Theory of Computation, Turing machines, Boolean analysis, Computability, Time and Space complexity of algorithms, Decidability, the Halting Problem, Complexity Theory, Interactive proof systems, Non Deterministic Computational Models, and I'll probably throw in some lambda calculus, Godel's Incompleteness, Goldbach's conjecture, and then ending with the edge of Quantum and bounds of Information transfer in physics

is the course I get to prep.
And we're reading through and discussing Godel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid over the summer. :-)

Aaaaah!  My students rock so much!  This class is going to be awesome!!
