alias_sqbrI am feeling quite...naughty is the only word that comes to mind. I looked at this weeks homework for my only current Coursera course, Games Without Chance, and it looked so boring I'm NOT GOING TO DO IT OMG. Teeheehee.
The Games without Chance course is kind of like having a pleasant but somewhat dull and confusing conversation with an old mathematician in the maths department lunch room. The guy obviously loves his topic but it's all a bit rambly and vague. I want FORMALISM dammit. WHERE ARE THE PROOFS?? I don't want to have to play actual individual games, I want to learn abstract algorithms for solving whole classes of games!! Where is the combinatorics I was promised??
*mutters about Applied Mathematicians having all the wrong priorities*
