Justice Brandeis Semester Lecture Series on Mobile Apps and Game Design

Rob Lindeman ’87 (Assoc Prof of CS at WPI) gave a great talk to the Justice Brandeis Semester Mobile Apps and Game Design program students a week ago. He talked about his work in Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality. This is part of a series of lectures on Mobile Apps and Game Design. You can see the rest of the series at this link: https://sites.google.com/site/jbs2011mobile/info-pages/classroom-work/speakers including videos of past lectures and info about future lectures. Feel free to stop by if you are in the neighborhood. Lectures are Mondays 1-2 in Lemberg 55. We’ve also had talks by the CTO of the One Laptop Per Child program (Ed McNierny) and CTOs of a few mobile startups in the area. In two weeks, we’ll have Haggai Goldfarb ’85 talking about his Mobile Game company LiquidBits. These lectures are open to everyone and will be followed by demonstrations of the mobile app projects of the Justice Brandeis Semester students which all are invited to attend.

NEUCS-2011

Brandeis is one of the co-organizers of the third annual New England Undergraduate Computing Symposium which will be held on Saturday April 9th at Tufts University. This symposium is designed to build community among undergraduate Computer Science majors in New England and also to increase the diversity of our undergraduate majors by actively reaching out to under-represented groups and encouraging them to participate. Students register online at https://sites.google.com/site/neucs11/ by completing a simple form describing the project they plan to demo or present as a poster. We expect to have 60-80 students projects and around 150 students and faculty attending the symposium. If you are an undergrad that has written an interesting mobile app, or completed a creative project in one of your classes, or are working in a research lab on an exciting problem involving computation, please visit the site and register to present your project and/or demo your code.

New for Spring 2011: CS177 Scientific Computing

The Computer Science department will be offering a new course this semester, CS177 Introduction to Scientific Computing, taught by Prof. Tim Hickey.  The course has no prerequisites and is designed for Science students interested in learning how to use Matlab and other tools to analyze data and simulate physical systems. It meets MWT 9-10 and there is still room for more students. The first part of the course will be an introduction to the lingua franca of the Scientific programming community:  Matlab/Octave. No programming background is assumed or required. The second part of the course will cover the use of Matlab/Octave to solve a variety of scientific problems using various techniques including statistical analysis, curve fitting, optimization, ordinary and partial differential equation solving, image processing, SVD and other matrix factorizations, 2d and 3d plotting. Students will also learn to use  a number of tools for collaboration and dissemination of scientific results including LaTeX for scientific papers, GIT for source code sharing, google docs for shared editing and google sites for dissemination of results.
