I dunno, that comes from my Abstract Algebra course a heck of a lot more than it came from any of my CS classes (I graduated last May) While I'm at it though, I want to thank Tim for that post. It was one of those posts where afterwards you say "of course!" but beforehand I was totally thinking of it the wrong way. Brought me right back to Abstract.
