Are you interested in algorithms, but find the theory a bit dry? Do you want a chance to actually implement the algorithms instead of just learning about them? Try CPSC 490! This student directed seminar – coordinated by 2 members of the ACM programming team – will give you a chance to learn the fundamental algorithms, and then apply them to actual programming problems (if you are thinking of interviewing with Microsoft or Google, this is exactly the kind of thing you want to be able to do).
The class counts as a regular 400-level CPSC course. A time has not yet been chosen for the course: once students have registered, a time will be selected that fits everyone’s schedule. CPSC 320 is a pre-requisite for this course.
