Check out "Segregation Surfaces" by D. J. Hunter (@dhunterwestmont) and C. Wairoba to learn how they use Bayes theorem and kernel density estimation to summarize population data and propose two new ways to measure urban segregation using calculus: https://t.co/0M42OuwDFV

Nice promo from the editor of our paper on segregation:

This is one of the reasons CS is at home in the liberal arts.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Coding is more about communicating than computing.

New data: the best predictor of how quickly people learned to code wasn't math or cognitive ability, but language aptitude.

Math skill was almost irrelevant. Coding is mastering a language, not numbers.

Last day of class -senior photo! Even in a virtual world evidence of shared experiences build up over time. Art from Easter, the attendance board in the back, the fax machines that deliver graded papers, the mental maps on the walls. We are so proud of these students!!!

Life with a toddler is like an inductive proof. First my daughter proves the base case: can I watch Mickey Mouse? Then she proves the induction step: can I watch just one more episode? @Westmont_M_CS
