Learning from Prof. Don Knuth

Many of us are not fortunate to study at Stanford Univ. Many of us have only heard about Donald Knuth, but have not heard him. If you are one of these, like me, here is a golden opportunity to stop dreaming. Visit the "Stanford Center for Professional Development", and listen and see Don. Knuth. No, you dont have to travel, you just have to click on the link below, and scroll down to the bottom of the page you see. Choose the group of lectures you want to watch :::

"This was an experimental project where we'd have three or four cameras in a basement studio and we would film classes of about an hour," says Knuth. "We got a bunch of our brightest students and gave them extremely difficult problems. You could literally see the 'Aha' taking place. People can watch the problem-solving process as it occurred."

Poland calling !

Poland calling !

In a few weeks from now, I will be visiting the University of
Science and Technology, Krakow, Poland. This visit will be for delivering a lecture on formal methods, and for exploring projects for collaboration and cooperation. If all goes well, I
may also visit some other institutions in Germany (confirmation awaited). Insha-allah.

Just why can't our institutions in India recognise a competent
teacher-scientist ?
