Theory of Algorithms is a conceptual framework for solving a range of problems: from everyday matters, to corporate challenges, to worldwide difficulties. Once finished, this framework will help us solve all problems we face and know everything there is. The Core Algorithm is the practical applications model. Theory of Algorithms is a work-in-progress, and this blog is my introduction of its seminal concepts.

Linda Nathan - Why Art Matters
An internationally recognized teacher, author, and speaker on school reform, Linda Nathan is the founding headmaster of Boston Arts Academy, Boston's first public high school for the visual and performing arts. Under her guidance, BAA has won state, national and international awards and recognitions, and consistently sends over 94% of its graduates on to college. Dr. Nathan is the author of the book, The Hardest Questions Aren't on the Test: Lessons from an Innovative Urban School, and is currently executive director of BAA's Center for Arts in Education. In this talk, she explores the importance of the arts as key to a complete educational experience.
"I learned early in my training as a young teacher, that there was something about the arts, that could bring people together, across racial divide, across linguistic divide, across socioeconomic differences," say Linda Nathan.
"When you drum, you can't lie. Drumming comes from the heart. Drumming is my soul. When I drum, I'm at peace. And I want to do something in the homeless community, that will give those men the same experience," say Raul.
