Mike Lin Interview (12 Feb 2006)
If students weren’t taught calculus and they go out and are engineers and only have elementary math, they could get pretty close and could guess solutions, but they would not have the benefit of having this tool set. Green design needs to be taught, not necessarily the specific solution like using a hybrid generative system, but the questions that should be asked, and the type of questions so you can ask the new ones when they come up.
