Links for LINQ Videos A great intro to LINQ and C# and how the var object is now used in C# (3.0). This object allows queries to be done without stating the type and hence LINQ/C# determines the type.

People skilled in logic were historically called logicians, or philosophers. The fields of mathematics, control theory/systems, philosophy, software engineering, artificial intelligence have several commonalities and overlapping areas.

People have been trying to understand the human brain for a long time in the hope of artificially reproducing its functions. Fields in Neural Computing tackle this problem, and also the fields involved with self-tuning systems (algorithms which write themselves).

Pure logic presents the principles by which a conclusion can be reached, eg by deduction.

Modern computers mostly process data very quickly (much more quickly than the human brain), and this gives the appearance of human like processes. In fact, computers are only quick - they are not intelligent.
