beyond expectation

waktu fall semester 2008 lalu saya habiskan di UCLA.
saya kira waktu ambil tutorial interdomain routing (BGP) bakal dapat hal hal-hal baru mengenai interdomain routing tapi harapan tinggal harapan ternyata hanya pertemuan pertama saja membahas interdomain routing (BGP) pertemuan-pertemuan selanjutnya malah berisi abstract algebra: ring theory, group theory, semi ring theory.
ini dia buku pegangannya:

Wolfram Research has worked with the CBS/Paramount show NUMB3RS since its first season. Now in the fifth season, it remains the most popular show of Friday nights. “The Math behind NUMB3RS” gives a more in-depth look at some of the mathematics in each episode. With season 5, we’ve added a math puzzle to go with each episode. Fifteen episodes into season 5, there are fifteen puzzles available.
