8th posting

I've been a little behind on my blogs so I'm going to update now. I'm sorry that I've been behind but I'm on it now. Today was pretty interesting. In the morning Larry gave us a lot of information on algorithms and how people use them in programming. He showed us how changing an equation by a little could make a huge difference in time when trying to calculate large numbers, like in billions. Later on in the day we went to the lab for a while to practice algorithms. Then later in the day Christine gave us a LONG lecture on pattern recognition systems and their importance of them. Then we went to the lab and worked on pattern recognition system simulations.
