Moserware: How the legacy of a dead mathematician can make you a better programmer

When was the last time you were challenged by an algorithm? As professional programmers, we often spend our day tackling things like:

• Ensuring all of our UI updates are on the UI thread via use of InvokeRequired along with BeginInvoke or Invoke.
• Querying a database and making sure we correctly handle people named "Robert'); DROP TABLE Students; --"
• Making sure our classes have responsibilities and colloborate nicely with others
• Avoiding locks: either dead or alive
• Making sure we don't go peeking around the contents of whatever is at address zero. Besides, doing that is always segmentation's fault, not ours.
• Thinking about Cheshire Cats and pimpl-es
• Making sure our binary searches aren't broken
• etc..
