10/18 M CS Town Hall Meeting

CS Undergraduate Townhall Meeting
Monday, Oct 18, 5:30pm-6:00pm, Upson 111 Joe Halpern (Dept. Chair) Thorsten Joachims (DUS)

Inviting all students interested in CS (affiliated or not).
There will be snacks.

Agenda: 1) Remodeling the CSUGLab: Lockheed Martin made a generous gift for remodeling the CSUGLab. We would like to gather ideas on what the new lab should look like. 2) 1/2-Credit Programming Courses: We are offering various one or two credit courses for specific programming languages (e.g. CS2024 C++, CS2042 Unix, CS2046 Android). We are considering changing the set of topics, and would like comments on what the right set should be. 3) General discussion about the CS major. We'd like to hear from you!

Before the townhall meeting, starting at 5pm, Prof. Joachims will talk about his research on machine learning from clickthrough data in search engines.

re-post Clicker use Please register your clicker with Cornell CIT, not the I-Clicker company. You must register for this semester--CIT erases the registration data at the end of each semester. You will need the unique ID (alpha-numeric) on the back of the clicker for registration. If you have a used clicker whose ID is rubbed off, go to CIT (the CCC Building on the Ag Quad) and use their scanner/receiver to get the ID.

9/16 R Lecture examples In order to run the scripts nestedStars and moreNestedStars, you need to have the two files DrawRect.m and DrawStar.m in the Current Directory as well. These files are available with the textbook--download them from the Insight link on the course website. Read Section 3.1 in Insight and take a look at these slides on Eg3_1; we'll discuss this example next lecture.

9/2 R Typo There is a typo in the example in P1.1.5 of Insight (page 13). The volume formula of the icosahedron is correct in the table, with the divisor value 12. In the example below the table that calculates Vol20, however, the divisor is incorrectly written as 4. Please note this correction in the book, but it does not affect the problem you are solving in Project 1.
