Looking at the Bible through the eyes of a computer scientist

December 4th, 2007 – by Yong Zhang

Donald Knuth is one of the computer scientists I admire. He has been called the father of algorithm analysis.

Why do computer scientists always confuse Halloween and Christmas?

October 31st, 2007 – by Yong Zhang

Happy Halloween! Computer scientists deal with various number systems. In addition to the Decimal (Base-10) number system, which everybody uses, computer scientists use number systems such as Binary (base-2), Octal (Base-8), and Hexadecimal (Base-16). Computer scientists even come up with many jokes about number systems. There are 10 kinds of people in the world, those [...]
