This David Cross skit is a great way to explain recursion. It's right up there with the definition "See Recursion" and the famous knock-knock joke (ask me).
I am a professor of statistics and computer information at Baruch College in New York City; currently I serve as Associate Dean for Academic Affairs of the Business school.
I write fiction, non-fiction, and poetry, and I publish my research in scholarly journals. I am married to another CUNY Professor and we have 10 children. (OK, so I included our sons-in-law!)
