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 . 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

Git Internals Talk

Have you heard of Git or used it in your past coop terms?

Most software development these days is done using git. Git can seem very complex to use (and often is!). However, it turns out the core architecture behind git is quite simple and elegant.

We will explore how git works under the hood to understand this architecture, and demystify what commonly used git commands actually do. Afterwards, we will dive deeper into the implications of this architecture, both positive and negative, as well as how this knowledge can be useful day to day. We will end it off by answering the question: “Is git the first blockchain?” (spoiler: sort of!)
There are snacks / drinks served at the event!

Event Date: July 25th, at MC 5479 from 6-7 PM

Sign up is not required for this event!

F'22 Applications are OPEN

Past events

Prof Talk with Anton Mosunov

Are you interested in learning more about parallel computation? CSC hosted a Prof Talk with the amazing Professor Anton Mosunov to talk about his awe-inspiring research. The recording of the talk is on our Youtube channel! Check it out:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQraP9cc5UM

He delivered 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 watch the video!

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. ”
