BIOPROGRAMMING
- what is programming? programming is a process of making series of instuction enabling computer to do particular task. program gives logical flow of instructions to computer and also provides ease to handle and readability to user. programming is progressive work, it needs consistant reforming, editing, and correction. it is the reason why program should be user-friendly.
- How to make a compiler? compiler translates programming languages into executive instructions for computer. for making compiler, compiler must involves functions such as interpreting programming languages, matching interprted programming languages with set of instructions what computer could be acceptable.
- what is a language? computer is basically operated according to arrangement of 1 and 0. so, it is hard for programmer to impart instruction(programm) directly. programming languages mediate languages of 0 and 1(low-level language), and real human language(high-level language) to make easy to programming. there are lots of languages having different levels according to its purpose and property, such as C, java, R, python, so on.
- what is a computer? computer is programmable machine. It consists of hardware and software. hardwares are physical components of computer, which process instructions, receive and reperesent informations, and store what it did. software is program. it falls into two types - operating system and application software. Operating system controls hardware of computers to optimize its functionality. application software is so called program, making computer "work".
- what is a grammer? grammer is rule making order of sentence of language. it indicates the position of key word, punctuation of sentence. programming languages also has grammer, which is especially called syntax.
-in the class
- ppt from DoYeon Lim and YeonSoo Jun - programmable C.elegans. there was debate about the C.elegans is living thing. some poeple rejects that the C.elegans can't reproduce or evolution, it turns out that it is also programmable. in my opinion, it is kind of life. although it is confined virtual dimension, it metabolizes, moves, responses to stimuli, reproduces, evolves, and makes decision in the universe for "virtual" C.elegans. Who knows? it is same as human being. we also confined dimension, and "coded" by physical rules. it may be helpful to answer "What is real?". Reality is the program. it repeats same procedure under the same input - reproducibility. it is amenable and flexable under the determined algorithms still one cannot reform that algorith itself. living things on earth seems to be programmed with natural selection. According to its environment, living things regulates its gene expression(biological switch) by turning on and off. Such decision making is the set of insturction engraved over billion years and enables living things to be "real" thing
What is lecture?
- what is lecture? lecture is a talk or speech givne to a group to teach them about a particular subject[1].
- from the ancient to the information-orieted age, teaching methods changes and are invented. Among them, lecture provides the best way to transfer the knowledge and information in terms of personal contact. according to the definition of lecture, it is essential for lecturer and student to be in same place and time. Book, for example, is widely used material for storage knowledge, however, it is poor at teaching alone. because it requires for reader to stand on the author's position. lots of factors printed with knowledge, such as nuance, traditional background, and even historical background of author oneself. another poor example for teaching may be "online lecture". it has no communication between lecturer and student in realtime. it is possible to ask e-mail to the lecturer, however, it deprives the opportunity to discuss fresh and thoughtful question in prompt from both lecturer and student. Lecture resolves such problems by placing all members together. such arrangement could enable student to reach the basis of knowledge and penetrate the center of understanding - giving insight.
