Are you interested in algorithms, but find the theory a bit dry? Do you
like CPSC 320/420 but find writing pseudo-code boring? Do you want a
chance to actually implement algorithms instead of writing them on paper?

If so, then CPSC 490 202 - "Problem Solving in Computer Science" is for
you! This popular student directed seminar will be offered again next
spring by 2 ACM programmming team members. The course will not only
introduce fundamental algorithms, but also give you the opportunity to
apply what you've learned to actual programming problems. Gone are the
days of wondering if the theory you learn is useful!

Are you looking for an internship/co-op/job at Google, Microsoft, or
IBM? Then you should definitely join us! The types of problems you get
in the interview will be the same as the problems we will be solving. In
fact, several alumni of this course are now working at Microsoft and Google.

For more information on the course, visit the site
<www.ugrad.cs.ubc.ca/~cs490/sec202>. For any question, feel free to 
email us at cs490@ugrad.cs.ubc.ca.

To register for the course, please put yourself on the waitlist (the
blocked status will be removed shortly) and send us an email at
cs490@ugrad.cs.ubc.ca. In your email, please indicate your name, student
number, program, and year. Also, we do require CPSC 320 or equivalent
experience as a pre-requisite. If you like to join but have not taken
320, please also include in the email why you think you have the
necessary experience to take the course.

Hope to see you in class!
