ACM Programming Competition

Just wanted to pass on this note from Matt DeVries for those interested in the ACM Programming Competition

Jason Roberts, President
Vanderbilt Computer Society

Hello everyone,

I’m trying to get things started for Vanderbilt to participate this year in the ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest. We had a few teams participate last year, and they had a lot of fun and did pretty well, with one team taking first at the testing site, even though we didn’t do a whole lot to prepare for it. In the competition, teams of three get one computer and 5 hours to write programs to solve several problems. You can find more info at Baylor and Rockhurst. If you’re at all interested, please come to an organizational meeting in FGH 110 this Wednesday, October 4 at 7 PM, or email me at matthew.t.devries@vanderbilt.edu

Matt
