A diversity of (unclassified or declassified!) topics to be discussed will include CSE itself yesterday and today, understanding the essence and scope of CSE's mandates, understanding the Canadian Intelligence and Security organizations, the various fields of mathematics which are of potential benefits to cryptology, the benefits of computational mathematics and optimization, understanding the bigger picture in terms of emerging technologies and organizational priorities, factors that motivate and inspire a crypto-mathematician in his or her career at CSE, the breadth and depth of analysis/development/research, the global reach of the 5-Eyes partnership and cooperation, recruitment and development of new technical job descriptions while in management, on-the-job training and mentoring, NSA's Cryptologic Mathematics Program, Integration Opportunities, etc. As well, a few thoughts will be shared about today's CSE and cyberspace. Finally, the speaker will talk about his cryptologic hobbies especially since he retired from CSE in 2011, as well as sharing a developing story about CSE and its cryptologic artifacts. Logistics permitting, Mr. Brisson will bring a WW2 German Enigma to display while saying a few words its significance in history and the movie "The Imitation Game". --- Chin Lee Research Support Assistant to Michele Mosca|Interim CREATE Program Coordinator Institute for Quantum Computing|University of Waterloo https://cryptoworks21.uwaterloo.ca Office: 519-888-4567x31189|Email: ch3lee(a)uwaterloo.ca

by McCann, Bryan 04 Sep '17

04 Sep '17

Hello Waterloo students! Oliver Wyman invites you to the UW Data Science Lunch, an opportunity to learn more about how individuals with computer science, mathematics, and engineering backgrounds can have an impact at Oliver Wyman. We will be presenting some examples of the cool analytics work we have done, and providing free lunch. We hope to see you there! The event is at Friday, September 8th from 2PM-3:30PM, Waterloo Campus – sign up at http://owy.mn/UWLunchLearn. A little about us: Oliver Wyman is a global management consulting firm. We use modern data science and custom software to solve the toughest real world business problems. This is an opportunity to apply your education to real businesses, changing how companies work and having an extraordinary impact from Day 1. While you may not have considered management consulting as a career, we are hiring mathematicians, engineers, and data scientists, along with students from a variety of other majors, who can apply their technical skills to solve the gnarliest problems. At the same time, you will develop the business skills and acumen to become the next generation of business leaders. We’ll get you there. We are highly entrepreneurial, and bring together talented and thoughtful people to develop a unique solution to each problem we face. We take our work seriously, but not ourselves. Ours is a firm whose members teach each other, take care of one another, and continuously learn, stretching the boundaries of what we are capable of doing. There are not many places where you can solve problems of such size, scale and variety, and even fewer places that have great people to do it with. This fall, we’ll be on campus recruiting for our Full-time Consultant and Co-Op positions. Submit application to WaterlooWorks (if possible) AND www.oliverwyman.com/careers<http://www.oliverwyman.com/careers>. Submissions are due at 11:59pm on September 14th for entry-level and 11:59pm EST September 25th for co-ops for the January – April term.

by Peter Wood 23 May '17

23 May '17

Hello CSC members! The Faculty has a small web project and we would like to recruit students who are interested in working for a few hours. This is an ideal project for a student or group of students with knowledge of basic web development and Python who want to help students and make a few bucks. Project Summary: Students need to plan their courses term-by-term to ensure they are able to complete degree requirements; however, the Faculty doesn't provide a useful summary of what courses are offered when. This project is to create a simple webpage to display this information. If interested, please contact pwood(a)uwaterloo.ca<mailto:pwood@uwaterloo.ca> for more information.
