Hey we had an interesting meeting on Sunday. Two people from Cochise
Stronghold
learned about the meetings from the web site. One of them was a Forth
programmer.
We downloaded a copy of Forth (gforth) and Terrel did an informal
introduction
to Forth. There were about 6 people there.
Forth was created by Charles H. Moore. The first use of it was to control
some telescopes at Kitt Peak Observatory right here in southern AZ.
I took some notes and put them on the web here:
http://math.cochise.edu/forth
This was a good meeting. We had talked about doing something like this
later on when we are more organized - have a short organized talk on
something, then break off into other things. I think everyone enjoyed it.
I had heard of Forth but had never used it. I'm intrigued with it now,
especially since it has connections to math and science, and some local
history associated with it. I asked Terrel if he would be interested in
teaching course (oh boy!) and he said that could be fun.
