Math & Computer Science Club
Please join us and meet some new friends with similar interests. We can help with your programming and math classes. Stop in on Tuesdays, this fall, in HA 311 at 11:00, at the newly refurbished Math & Computer Science Lounge. We will be continuing work on our robot and planning trips and speakers for the fall semester. In addition, we are practicing for another programming competition and putting together the fourth math competition for SUNY Orange students. Bring your suggestions and let's see what we can do together in the new semester!
New Math and Computer Science Lounge Developments!
The biggest news for the fall is the new Math and Computer Science Student Lounge computer. Built by our students with club funds, it is located in the lounge in HA 311. The lounge provides us with a place to meet new friends and relax with fellow students.
Our Third SUNY Orange Mathematics Competition!
For the past three semesters, the Club has held Mathematics Competitions, and awarded prizes of $90, $60, and $30 to the three winning teams. Twelve teams competed. Congratulations to all the participants and in particular to the first place team:
Justin Ross, Whitney Dudley, and Andrew Kisiel.
Consider participating next semester. Special thanks to the organizing team of Michael Gulak, Brandon Prager, Franz Vezullii, Matthew Ward, and Brian Kirby.
Our Second and Third Progamming Competitions
Last Fall, we were pleased to send two teams to a programming competition. They were Brandon Prager, Michael Gulak, and Robert O'Connor were on the C++ team, and Matthew Ward, David Degroate, and Robert O'Connor were on the Java team. Although all the schools we were competing against were 4 year schools, one of our teams still finished in the top half.
In the spring, we were only allowed to send a single team to the competetion and Michael Gulak, Brandon Prager, and David DeGroat were selected to represent us. Because we were only allowed to send one team, we decided to hold a programming competition of our own. It was a great success with nine teams participating.
The first place winners were:
Kevin Anderson and Andrew Barlet.
Some Other Activites
Last semester we continued work on our robot and assembled the computer for the lounge. We visited RPI, and RIT which are transfer destinations for some of our students. We joined the Physics club for some of their trips, most notably we went on the trip to Great Adventure at the end of the spring semester to investigate roller coaster dynamics. We also hosted a demonstration of computer assembly and construction.
We have eaten lots of pizza, solved many math and programming problems, and had a good time. We hope you can join us!
