This course is about learning to program and about applying our knowledge of algorithm design in new and intertesting circumstances. To do this we will study and solve many programming problems. Some of the problems we will study have come from past ACM programming contests.

To be a good programmer one needs several skills -- to study problems carefully, to weigh different approaches, and always to think before you write. After taking this course students should be able to approach solving programming contest problems in a calm and organized manner.


Below I will post announcements. I will post new announcements in front of old ones, so the old ones will always still be there, only further down the page.
