I will demo an interactive visualization of Apollonius' circle problem in the Jupyter notebook. I encourage those seeking a project to think about a high-dimensional input space - anything from a mechanistic model (the firing arc of a cannon) to a complex corpus (a timeline of events in Harry Potter canon) to something in-between, - and whether the problem demands a tighter coupling to output than from paper and imagination alone. This is a general announcement for the start of the semester. If you haven't asked to be on the mailing list this semester, and are not on the ACM list, no more of these should reach you.

I realize that this time may not work for everyone, so please let me know so that I can make alternate arrangements if necessary. I will be in the office for at least a couple hours after the meeting, so feel free to drop by and ask me questions! :-) The meeting agenda will consist of an introduction for new members to the SIG, topic interest & knowledge polls, and collecting feedback for future workshops and presentations. Anyone interested in attending is encouraged to look over the SIGs page on the ACM website as well as the information currently documented on the ACM wiki. (SIG Page: https://acm.cs.uic.edu/sigsysadmin) If you are completely new to Linux, we suggest looking at the "*Getting Started*" section in the Wiki to get yourself acclimated to using Linux: https://acm.cs.uic.edu/wiki/sig:sysadmin As part of SIGSysadmin, you will most likely be interacting with many systems and applications via the terminal. It helps to know some of the basics to get started with using/configuring systems more efficiently. If you have any questions while you are exploring, please feel free to bring those questions to the meeting. Hope to see you then!

I competed in Google Games last spring at a Google office. Can I participate? 1. You are able to participate in the games. However, your team will not be eligible to win prizes to ensure a level playing field for all teams participating. Q. Can we have fewer than five members on our team? A. Yes, but we strongly recommend having the maximum number of members ? any less and you'll lose your competitive edge. Q. Can we replace a member before the start of the event? A. Sure. Just let us know via email techstudents at google.com. Be sure to include: the full name and email of the new team member, the full name of who is being replaced, your school name and your team name. Q. Do I need to bring my own laptop if the event is not in a computer lab? A. It will give your team a competitive advantage to have all members work from their own laptop in the challenges. If you don?t have your own, see if you can borrow one from a friend. And don?t forget the charger! Q. Will food be provided? A. We?ll have pizza as long as it lasts! Q. When will our team receive a confirmation about the Games? A. After the registration deadline, we will reach out to confirm team selection and provide more details 3-4 days before the event. *? **Amy Lynam* * ? *University Programs, Chicago * ?

"Hello contestants! You are receiving this email since you indicated on your registration that you will be participating in this year's Mechmania! First, in order to participate you must bring your own laptops. We do not have specific lab computers designated for the competition. Secondly, we recommend you download the latest version of Unity Game Engine, found here. Note that this is not required to participate, it will just help test the code faster. We will supply you with an executable version of the game which you'll be able to run through a command line with your script. You will mostly be working on one C# script file that can be edited using other text editors, such as vscode and Visual Studio Community. Our staff will be available throughout the competition to help troubleshoot any issues either with Unity itself or the game project, and we will have a Piazza forum up for any updates and questions. See you there!" Best, Tim C. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
