Computer science needs more eponyms, in the vein of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mordenkainen#Spells Mordenkainen]. Collect them all, and impress your friends! I might make a project one day of [[book ideas|summarizing these entries]].

Explicitly ''not included'' in this list are: general logic (Peano and Presburger arithmetic), mathematical entities not primarily associated with computer science (Markov's inequality, Chapman-Kolmogorov equation, Young tableaux), physical theories to which computer science is merely applied (Navier-Stokes equations, Taylor-Couette flow), nor statistical entities not primarily associated with computer science (Ziph's Law, Pareto efficiency). Explicitly ''included'' are: terms from computer engineering (Mead-Conway rules, Ling adders).

Explicitly ''not included'' in this list are: general logic (Peano and Presburger arithmetic, Herbrandization), mathematical entities not primarily associated with computer science (Markov's inequality, Chapman-Kolmogorov equation, Young tableaux), physical theories to which computer science is merely applied (Navier-Stokes equations, Taylor-Couette flow), nor statistical entities not primarily associated with computer science (Ziph's Law, Pareto efficiency). Explicitly ''included'' are: terms from computer engineering (Mead-Conway rules, Ling adders).

'''UPDATE''' the threshold for inclusion is now: '''De Morgan's Laws'''. If you're not at least as computer sciency as '''De Morgan's Laws''', you ain't gettin' in. [[User:Dank|Dank]] 12:25, 3 October 2011 (CDT)
