                      Friday, Dec. 4 at 2:00 p.m.
                  in Room 109 of Warren Weaver Hall 
       (251 Mercer Street, corner of Mercer and West Fourth Streets)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Professor Benson R. Sundheim (Department of Chemistry, FAS) will
demonstrate some of the ways in which the program HyperCard, running on
Macintosh computers, can be used by a lecturer for board work, to provide
interactive lecture notes for students' independent use, and to integrate
material on videodiscs and videotapes into lecture materials. Creating
simple animations and user-machine dialogues, and coupling HyperCard with
other programs, will also be discussed.

        Professor Sundheim has been developing computer-based instructional
aids for use in his classes for several years and has found HyperCard to be
powerful and yet easy to use. His examples will be drawn from chemistry,
but the techniques which he will be demonstrating are widely applicable to
presentations of all sorts.  

                         -----------------------    

All faculty, staff, and students are welcome.  If you are interested in
attending, please call 998-3333; it will help us in our planning.  We hope
you will be able to join us. 

This colloquium is sponsored by the Academic Computing Facility, the
Faculty of Arts and Science, the Courant Institute of Mathematical
Sciences, the FAS Department of Chemistry, the Interactive
Telecommunications Program (Tisch School of the Arts), and the Hippocrates
Project (NYU School of Medicine),with support from Apple Computer, Inc.  It
will be of interest to faculty, researchers and students in a broad range
of disciplines in the arts, media, the physical, social, and medical
sciences, as well as computer science.

It is not clear what you mean by information at all.  One standard measure
is Kolmogrov complexity, where the information content of a sequence
is equivalent to the minimal description of that sequence on a universal
Turing machine.  From this measure your comments are meaningless.  It is
not obvious in what interpretation you intend, if any.

>Anyway
>this is a old discussion on the net---What is the information content of pi.
>Infinite? Is it bigger than sqrt(2) or 1/3.

Old conversations are obviously the most interesting and most likely to 
yield important ramifications when understood.  The information content
of PI from Kolmogrov complexity is very small.  It is not infinite in
any way whatsoever.

Shannon's measure of information depends on the probability of choosing some
symbol from an ensemble.  It does not appear directly applicable unless on
can assign probabilities to various sequences.

would agree that a cool grand is a little spendy for a pair 'o flashig
goggles, how would one actually construct this particular beast.  I've
read the swim-goggle shotgun idea (and think it sounds pretty logical),
but what if one wanted to really make a pair that detected REM sleep
before triggering the LED's - how hard would this be, and does it
involve enough complex circuitry to warrant a $1000 price tag?
