Are you sure this list is "Basic"?
for example "Gedanken Experiments Concerning Flows at High Reynolds Number"?<p>This list seems more like a set of specialized studies for an 'elective' topic course.
My favorite is you have all these pun titles and then:<p>> The Humble Programmer - E. W. Dijkstra<p>Which is actually the title of that essay by Dijkstra! <a href="http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/EWD/transcriptions/EWD03xx/EWD340.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/EWD/transcriptions/EWD03xx/EW...</a> I guess this guy really doesn't think much of that essay?
These are hilarious. I'm sure I'm not alone in saying some of them zipped right past me. E.g. "The Fellowship of Bacchus - P. Naur" - ???
