> Not all MIT courses are techie! Across MIT's 35 world-class
> departments in five different schools, there are many interesting
> course subjects that may surprise--and delight--you: This month's
> feature looks to answer the questions: How - and why - do people seek
> to capture everyday life on film? What can we learn from such films?

> 4. User Cheers from Canada - How You Can Help
> ---------------------------------------------------------------
>      "MIT has made a great leap for the education and intellectual
>      advancement of man-kind. To open up the institutions vast
>      reservoirs of knowledge not only to researchers but to common
>      people is a monumental and inspiring endeavour. I have perused
>      many courses that will help me in my future research and also,
>      I believe, in life. Thank you MIT." - Student, Canada

> 5. Brain Teaser
> ----------------------------------------------------------------
> This month's brain teaser: Venn diagrams can show how different parts
> of a sentence are logically related. How would you draw a Venn
> diagram to represent the sentence, "Everyone who flies (F) is both a
> man (M) and a woman (W)"? To find the answer, go to Chapter 15 in the
> Readings for 24.241 Logic I, Fall 2005.
