Fun with Algorithms in English

Summer Semester 2007

Every Friday, 14.00 s.t., U10-146

Jens Stoye

Topics:

Based on textbook chapters or original research papers, the participants will give oral presentations and write short summaries (both in English) about recent (and/or funny) algorithmic problems and their solutions.

Rules of the game:

Oral presentations take 12+3 (groups of four), 15+5 (groups of three), and 30+30 (the rest) minutes per person, where x + y means that you should try to use x minutes and will be stopped after x + y minutes.
Every participant writes a written summary of his/her talk. This should not exceed 5-8 pages, after 10 pages I will stop reading. The first version has to be handed in by end of August, the final decision must be made by end of September 2007.
