To all SSU
Students,
There will be a Programming Contest held in the Math Lab, Sullivan Building
306, on Wednesday, April 20 between 4:30 pm and 7:30 pm. You are cordially
invited to participate in the event. This contest is sponsored by JD Software (http://www.jdsoft.com/). Three undergraduate students and
three graduate students will share $1,800 in prizes, with the following prizes
for each category of students:
$400: First Prize
$300: Second Prize
$200: Third prize
1. You may use any programming language installed on the computers in the Math
Lab.
2. More details about the prizes and policies for this programming contest,
along with a sample problem, are posted at
http://www.salemstate.edu/~arosenthal/prog_contest/ .
3. You can familiarize yourself with the contest rules and specifications, and
participate in preparation and warm-up exercises, by coming to sessions in the
Math Lab, SB306, on Wednesday, April 13 from 4:30 - 5:30 pm and Tuesday, April
19 from 4:30 -5:30 pm. During those sessions, help will be provided on
using the programming languages installed on the computers in the Math Lab.
**************Registration for the Contest***************
1. You must be a current SSU student, taking at least one course at SSU.
2. Please register by 7:30 pm on April 14 using the Eventbrite link at
http://programming-contest-in-math-lab-tickets-ssu16.eventbrite.com
. If this doesn't work, please register by sending an e-mail by 8 pm on
April 14 to Dr. Arthur Rosenthal at arosenthal@salemstate.edu , with the
following information:
Subject: Registration for SSU Programming Contest
Your full name
Your SSU e-mail address
Your major
Whether you are an undergraduate or graduate student
Your SSU Student ID number
3. The number of computers available for the contest in the Math Lab is
limited to 19. Should there be more than 19 registrants, priority will be
given to those who have registered earlier. In that case, we will
consider other possibilities (perhaps two sittings for the Math part of the
programming contest, just as there are often two sittings for dinner on
cruises), but we can't promise that yet.
4. If Java is your preferred programming language, there is also a programming
contest to be held in a Computer Science Lab, Meier Hall 210, on April 11 from
3:30-6:30 pm where the only programming language you may use is Java.
More information about the Programming Contest to be held in MH 210 is posted
at http://cs.salemstate.edu/~byi/progClub/progClub_www/SSU_contests/
. If you have questions about the contest on April 11 or would like
to register for it, please e-mail Dr. Beifang Yi at
byi@salemstate.edu with the following
information by Wednesday, April 6: Your name, SSU ID, SSU e-mail address
and youor major. Although students may enter
both the programming contests in the Computer Science and in the Mathematics
Department, nobody can win more than one prize. (If somebody qualifies for two
prizes, they will win the most valuable prize, and somebody else will win the
prize that the multiple prize winner was ineligible to receive).
