CS @ uWaterloo announcements

After extensive research and data collection with help from the psychology department in my university of over 1500 students, the data expressed a need for this innovative  app  idea that would target young adult demographics and offer them a solution to a recurring problem. Simple input of information into select categories for a user profile to track progress would be the main function of this  app . More information will be provided if interested but looking for someone who is able to design and build a modernized looking  app  that will be attractive and simple to use. I have a rough idea of the wireframes and method of monetization as well. If interested, be prepared to share a portfolio of previous experiences  and explanation on why you would be the best fit. As an option, there is the opportunity to form  a partnership if it means more commitment on the project. Please contact  David Grkinic for more information at  dgrkinic ...

There are three courses offered by the Centre for Society, Technology and Values:  STV 205: Cybernetics and Society; STV 205: Cybernetics and Society; and STV 302: Information Technology and Society.  - STV 205: Cybernetics and Society. A exploration of human-machine feedback related systems, including history, philosophy, and ethics. - STV 210: The Computing Society (held with HIST 212). A history of computing, taught through a lens of critical thinking about technology and society of today. Perhaps my favourite course to teach, and I’m saying that as a UW CS alumni. - STV 302: Information Technology and Society. The ‘hot topics’ computing and society course. It’s taught seminar style, with an emphasis on independent research similar to CS492. 

Please be aware that department consent has been removed for CS371 for Spring 2023 as per the information on the  course enrollment page . If the class is full, then you will need to wait for students to drop the course before you could add the course. Please note that the deadline to add courses is Friday, May 19, 2023 at 11:59 PM (EST).

Course General Description: This course describes Monte Carlo techniques widely used for the numerical solution of integral equations in different fields, from computer graphics to astrophysics. The first module of the course provides theoretical background on Monte Carlo methods, while the second and third modules are devoted to practical applications. The course closes with an overview of relevant interdisciplinary topics as well as research perspectives involving Monte Carlo methods. Course Objectives: This course aims to provide the students with theoretical and practical knowledge on effective and reliable Monte Carlo algorithms used in the industrial and academic environments. Despite its emphasis on recent developments in image synthesis and biomedical fields, the concepts and techniques learned in this course can be also employed in other areas of computer science since the practical issues involving the energy transfer methods depicted in the course can be directly relat...

  Causal Islands is a gathering of the brightest minds in programming language theory, cryptography, computational media arts, and more to bring about knowledge sharing and collaboration. Some of the announced speakers include Dr. Cristina Cifuentes, VP Software Assurance at Oracle; Jenn Schiffer, Director of Community at Glitch and Fastly; Jon Corbett, a computational media artist whose work explores how Indigenous cultural knowledge can be used as a framework for computing science and computer programming; and many more. Causal Island is extending a special student ticket rate to University of Waterloo students. The student ticket price is $50 for three days of events, including a Toronto tech community social at the Lula Lounge. This is $300 off the regular ticket price.
