|
The Competition Programming and Problem Solving Seminar (CP seminar in short) is an experimental seminar for discussing 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. Every week, a student or an invited speaker will present on a selected topic. Extra materials such as exercise problems will also be provided. We meet on Tuesdays at 2:55PM in Phillips 213. 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. The CP seminar is co-organized with Cornell ICPC Project Team. To receive weekly emails on the topic, please join the mailing list. We greatly encourage students to sign up for a talk. For signing up, please contact Robbert van Renesse (rv22) or Haobin Ni (hn332). |
