I second this: don't go down the wrong entrance, but definitely do visit. It's a fun time with knowledgeable employees that will take you on a tour. You can also see some of the machinery used to crack Japanese codes and some h

One of the (maybe few) niceties of MS Office these days is that you can search through a list of most available commands through a simple Alt+Q and typing. This greatly improved my productivity for some common tasks, and it's the sort

In image processing an edge detector like Sobel works (IIRC) by forward differencing. This is not quite differentiation but may help connect the dots a little bit. My guess is that some people may find this more intuitive.
