Scholarships for study abroad!The application for the Gilman scholarship for undergraduate students beginning a study abroad program between December 15th and April 15th is now available at: Read on for eligibility information … (more…) Google Code Jam!Given a 49×49 grid of numbers, can you place mines in the cells in such a way that each number represents the number of mines in its 3×3 sub-grid (the cell itself and its 8 immediate neighbors)? Find the maximum number of mines that could end up in the middle row of the grid. Intrigued? Think you can solve it with a clever algorithm? At Google, we know how thrilling it can be to encounter a challenge and then overcome it by coding up a creative solution. Since 2003, we’ve been privileged to share that experience with a global community of computer programmers through our annual programming competition, Google Code Jam. We’re excited to announce Google Code Jam 2009, powered by Google App Engine. Join the fun and compete in several 2½-hour online rounds, attacking three to four difficult algorithmic problems during each round. You may use your favorite programming languages and tools to code up a solution. When ready, run your solution against our fiendish test data. The algorithm needs to be right, and it needs to be efficient: when N=10000, O(N3) won’t cut it! If you’re up to the challenge, visit the Google Code Jam site to read the rules and register by September 3. Most importantly, you can practice on the problems from last year’s contest, so you are in shape when the qualification round starts on September 2. After four tough rounds of online competition, the top 25 competitors will be flown to our Mountain View headquarters to to match wits for the $5,000 first prize — and the title of Code Jam champion! P.S. Think you can solve our “Mine Layer” problem? Try it out on the Code Jam website! Need I&S credits? Like biotech stuff?This class may be interesting to anyone curious about the future of medicine and biotechnology! Plus, five (5!) whole credits of I&S! CHID 250A – BioFutures NW or I&S credit Students will be specifically encouraged to ask the following questions:
This class is designed to appeal to all.
