+    of numbers, specification of computation in 
+    functional terms, reasoning about such specifications, and comparing the 
+    strengths and weaknesses of 
+    different approaches. No prior background is needed; the talk should be accessible 
+    to anyone attending 
+    the University of Waterloo and, I hope, interesting to both novices and experts.
