smile, I sort of went a reverse route, I needed to take a philosophy course,
and did ok, up until we started the chapter on categorical syllogisms, I
read one paragraph, and it just all fell into place, CS works on it, and the
next chapter was on Boolean algebra, smile used in both philosophy and
comps, lol
my final was based on categorical syllogisms and I gots meself an A on that
one, and the course. I think my instructor about messed his pants when he
opened my final paper and found an entire run down of every possible
combination of C S's all typed and classed and sectionalized by function and
abstract level. I didn't tell him that the comp did most of the work for
me, tee hee
