I'd recommend linking to or citing an article in the Monthly -- I think it was called "Unbounded spigot algorithms for digits of pi", from maybe 2004 or 2005, which was what introduced me to Haskell. That article did a really good job of explaining why a mathematician should think that programming languages that are lazy and functional are really neat and useful. (Here's the article, btw: http://www.comlab.ox.ac.uk/people/jeremy.gibbons/publications/spigot.pdf ) Dan -- --- Dan Drake ----- http://mathsci.kaist.ac.kr/~drake -------
