I took Skiena's algorithms class at Stony Brook. He's quite a character.
- bayes 16y agoI greatly enjoyed his eccentric and opinionated book 'Calculated Bets' on writing an automated system for betting on jai alai (although the story petered out rather lamely when the grad students he relied on to write and maintain the code left and he couldn't run it any more). Sadly jai alai seems to be dying out - otherwise I would have been tempted to have a go myself.
