From: adobe!uunet!canremote!nigel.allen@labrea.stanford.edu Subject: PROGRAMMING NEWSLETTER A.K. Dewdney, Computer Recreations columnist with Scientific American magazine, has launched a personal programming newsletter, Algorithm. The new publication is aimed at amateur and professional programmers alike. It extends the Computer Recreations tradition of recreational and educational programming projects: the Mandelbrot set, cellular automata, chaos and dynamics, weird machines, stellar simulation, puzzles and many other topics. The new publication carries seven features and will expand to include more columns. Currently, it includes Algoletter, advice from professionals; Easy Pieces, fascinating projects for beginning programmers by Michael Ecker of Creative Computing fame; Personal Programs, exercises for more advanced programmers by Cliff Pickover, IBM's computer graphics wizard; Algopuzzles, computer mind-benders by Dennis Shasha, author of The Puzzling Adventures of Dr. Ecco; Algofact and Algofiction, invited articles and stories from well-known scientists and authors. A Bulletin Board advertises hosts of recreational products by individuals and small companies. Algorithm puts the "personal" back in "personal computing" by encouraging you to develop your programming skills while pursuing high adventure on the frontiers of science and computing.
