I read this, and all I can hear is this undertone that he's talking about some cool new species of livestock. Change a few words and he could just as easily be talking about chickens. "But you see, this breed of chicken needs X grams of nutritional supplement per day to reach its maximum butchering weight."

A university degree is in theoretical computer science (e.g. data structures, algorithms, type theory, automatons, paradigms). They are not trying to teach a vocation (there are other places suited for that). This is similar to a civil engineering school teaching statics and heat transfer. However, once you understand...

CS != programming. Studying CS is to programming as studying mathematics is to doing arithmetic. Programming is largely just a means of putting knowledge in practice. Reasoning about programs and what comprises them -- data structures, algorithms, languages, and so on -- is what CS is _really_ about.

As much as I like lisp, I would not call it intuitive. (+ 1 1) makes no sense to someone who sees the code without knowing what lisp is. For my untrained eyes, I also find the use of different types of brackets in Clojure also do not help.

The version that he actually used in class last year is available [here](http://www.seas.upenn.edu/~cis500/current/index.html). Even for someone who is not into computer science, the basics of Coq will probably be interesting to anyone curious about rigorous proofs and the nature of induction.
