The only course that comes up on a Google search is 2001/2 and this is not what was taught at Cambridge from 2004 or so: see https://www.google.com/search?q=richard+gibbens+continuous+mathematics+site:www.cl.cam.ac.uk

John Conway supervised Richard when the latter was an undergraduate at Cambridge.

Conway's book, based on his 1966 lectures was actually published in 1971: Regular Algebra and Finite Machines: 

David Brailsford (Nottingham) explains regular expressions and finite automata (and Yoda parsing!). This is interesting because he mentions Rabin and Scott and the subset/powerset construction in connection with non-deterministic automata and regular languages, and Ken Thompson's programming approach which I had never even heard of (but I did mention something a bit like this in my 2014 "communications" on the GNU guile-devel list.) See Programming Channel Processes marzo 08, 2022 and the keystone of Milner's 1997 definition of the Standard ML Semantics in Eng-Fi Short - The Doddleston Messages.

... and his posterity too? See  On Communication in Linear Time And Hypertext And The Gospel of Sophia . So it looks like El Cielo of the cistine [sic!😂] chapel is not the limit anymore.  I think I just met one of his descendents. A guy called Versailles Toledo who is from Chiapas. That might explain the murals I mention in my recent untitled post , just before the post mentioning this video. I also just took this photo of Rafael Gonzales, born here in Tecate, B.C., who told me about a spring near here called Agua Fría , half way from Tecate to Loma Tova , where, a few decades ago, people used to go to have barbecues and stuff, but now he thinks it may be private land. If someone reading this has a Facebook account, please write a link to this post onto his FB page. To see why I took the photo, look at his T-shirt and the horse-shoes and ponder this: Subscribe to BeatrizER and her video(s?) about mathematical logic, ...

David Turner Obituary by Sarah Nicholas Fri 24 Nov 2023

This was in The Guardian: David Turner obituary , only eight days after I posted  David Turner Talking About Sixty Years of Functional Programming History : This talk was given in London in 2017: See  Turner, D. A. "Some History of Functional Programming Languages" also  John Hughes - Why Functional Programming Matters  and David MacQueen's talk at ICFP 2015 in  Numberphile - Sophie Maclean on the Catalan Numbers . At 10:30 This whole discussion abut combinator reduction is especially interesting. I didn't know Arthur Norman had tried building hardware for combinator machines. I'll look that up: maybe start here A.C. Norman  Faster combinator reduction using stock hardware  in LFP '88: Proceedings of the 1988 ACM conference on LISP and functional programming. At 26:25 on the ISWIM virtual machine implemented in the PAL compacting garbage collector?! This work Reynolds and others did was at MIT in Masecheusetts and Argonne National Laboratory Illinois. Did
