Hey CS Clubbies! We have a survey to determine what t-shirt design people will buy. Once we know t-shirt design, we will leave preorders open for a week, then order t-shirts in time for exam period. Here is the survey: http://goo.gl/forms/qdeG0jlfD3 Timeline: Now -> Friday July 10 (this Friday) - survey on which t-shirt design to order Friday July 10 -> Friday July 17 - preorder forms accepted in person in the office (only with both a preorder form and money) Beginning of exam period (two weeks after Friday July 17) t-shirt order will arrive, preordered shirts will be available in person in the office. Have fun! -- Patrick Melanson Vice President Computer Science Club University of Waterloo pj2melan(a)csclub.uwaterloo.ca

Infra Sound is All Around Us (Prof. Talk)
by Computer Science Club 03 Jul '15

03 Jul '15

Interested in learning about Infra sound and the analysis thereof? Come out to this Prof. talk on THURS. JULY 9 at 6PM in MC 4060, presented by RICHARD MANN from the Department of Computer Science! For more detail, read Professor Richard's abstract: > Infra sound refers to sound waves below the range of human hearing. Infra sound comes from a number of natural phenomena including weather changes, thunder, and ocean waves. Common man made sources include heating and ventilation systems, industrial machinery, moving vehicle cabins (air, trains, cars), and energy generation (wind turbines, gas plants). > > In this talk I will present equipment I have built to measure infra sound, and analyse some of the infra sound I have recorded. > > Note: In Winter 2016 I will be offering a new course, in Computer Sound. The course will appear as CS489/CS689 ("Topics in Computer Science"). This is a project-based course (60% assignments, 40% project, no final).
