This Wednesday, November 16, Dr. Hoyer will be teaching a session on
dynamic programming.
Dynamic programming problems are quite prevalent in both programming
contests and in technical interviews at companies like Facebook, Google,
Microsoft, etc., so having a good understanding will make you really stand
out.
To give perspective, there were two dynamic programming problems in the last
ACPC, and the top 3 teams were the ones who were able to solve those problems.
Understanding how to solve these problems might make the difference between
placing 15th and in the top 3.
Registration for the ACPC is now open. We are hosting two divisions so all levels of experience are welcome. Space is limited, so sign up early! The deadline for signing up is Wednesday, October 12. A big thanks to Arcurve for sponsoring this contest.
The CCPC turnout was a huge success. To our surprise, the entire event sold out with a total of 150 participants. Thank you Synopsys for sponsoring and helping us organize the event.
The winner for Division 1 was team Too Cool to Have a Name, and in Division 2, the winner was team Anesun.
Hello Everyone,

On Wednesday, October 28th we'll be hosting a CPSC 331 midterm review session. If you're confused about loop invariants, proving run-times and algorithms, definitely swing by. See you there!
