Competition Programming and Problem Solving SeminarCS 5199 Fall 2019

|
The Competition Programming and Problem Solving Seminar (CP seminar in short) is an experimental seminar for discussing and practicing applied algorithms and techniques presented in programming contests, technical interviews, and problem solving through algorithms and programming in general. The goal is to provide a broader view of algorithms in practice and strengthen students' skills in problem solving. We meet twice every week. For about half of the lectures, a student or an invited speaker will present on a selected topic. The other half is more like a lab where students will solve problems in-class with help from mentors. We meet on Monday and Friday at 10:10AM in Hollister Hall 110. The CP seminar is open to all Cornell students interested in this topic. Student participants are expected to sign up for CS 5199 for one credit. Please join our Piazza for notifications and after-class discussions. The CP seminar is co-organized with Cornell ICPC Project Team. We greatly encourage students to sign up for a talk. For signing up, please contact Robbert van Renesse (rv22) or Haobin Ni (hn332).
