Computer Science Club 2022

Greetings to all members of the UW Computer Science Club! We hope your spring term is going smoothly, whether you are going through a co-op term or studying on campus (Hope your midterms went well!). Our goal as a club is to make sure that your spring term is memorable. We aim to run events and encourage students to connect and socialize, increase technical and academic interest with workshops and talks, and provide a safe academic learning and growth environment.

Upcoming Events This Week

Code Party: The Sequel

CSC Code Party is Back!

Are you looking for a chance to practice coding with friends and discover where your skills can improve? Come to Code Party: The Sequel to enjoy a fun coding session with your peers! Feel free to bring your projects and assignments to work on.

Capture The Flag Contest

Looking for a challenge that may win you money?

The CTF Club in association with CSC is running a Capture The Flag contest this term! Participants will work individually or in teams of up to 3 (division-dependent) to solve information security (InfoSec), penetration testing (pentesting) and cryptography challenges.

There is a total of 110$ of prize money to be won! Winners from the noob category can win 20$ and the pros can win up to 90$.

This contest will be held virtually from July 15th to 17th, so be sure to check out more info on this page for sign up details:

Prof Talk with Anton Mosunov

Are you interested in learning more about parallel computation? CSC is hosting a Prof Talk with the amazing Professor Anton Mosunov to talk about his awe-inspiring research. He will deliver a captivating talk about parallel computation. If you don’t yet know what that is yet or want to learn more about it, make sure to be there!

A special note from Anton, “As computational number theorists, we aim to provide computational (as opposed to theoretical) evidence in support of these big conjectures, and supply mathematical community with extensive data on various invariants associated with IQFs. In this presentation I will tell you how we intend to tabulate class groups of IQFs with |d| <= 2^41 on a supercomputer, aiming to extend our previous calculation done to 2^40. ”

Before you attend his talk, here are a few things he would like you to know! Make sure to bring a laptop and to install OpenMP on your system before the talk. You will have the chance to play around with the API and write a simple program, as well as solve various exercises!

Event Date: July 13th from 5 - 6:30 PM

Location: DC 1350
