- And now some quotes from course lecturers...
-
-
- I dont want to go into this in detail, but would like to illustrate
- some of the tedium....
-
- I'm sure it is right, whether it is valid or not..
-
- If I am incomprehensible then stop me; if i am simply wrong then i don't
- think it really matters.
-
- There are some bits at the end of the course i dont really understand,
- but the students don't normally get that far.
-
- The object of this course is to frighten half of you away.
-
- What we have discussed today seems to be uniquely incoherent.
-
- That is an absolute and total generalisation.... well almost.
-
- I wrote my first program in 1954.... that didn't work either.
-
- This is a _REAL_ integer, not just any old integer.
-
- This is the simple form... Well... It's simple in the sense that
- it leaves out all the really difficult bits.
-
- This is obvious; But dont look at it for too long, or it will become
- unobvious, until you look at it for even longer, when it becomes obvious
- again.
-
- I never know if you are as baffled as me, or if you are getting along fine...

- be tedious, and indeed it is!
-
- I have a lot to say about this, so dont stop me if i go too fast.
-
- This is rigorous. Well, its rigorous in the sense that... all right; its
- not rigorous.
-
- If there is a choice, you have got to do it.
-
- I dont see any point in talking.... except to resolve any ambiguities in
- my handwriting.
-
- Now look very carefully at what we have just proved. What we have just proved
- is false.... Oh dear....
-
- Fred has never lectured a group before; so he might be quite interesting.
-
- Watch the board while I go through it.
-
- This is known as the 'Toytown Solution'. Actually, there is a more
- technical term for it...
