Location and Hours. Friday 11:00 am - 12:30 pm, CS Room 2120

Course Description. This reading group provides a meeting place for Stony Brook faculty, postdocs, and students interested in the analysis of algorithms. We meet once a week, with one of three different missions:

• Paper Presentations -- This is fairly informal, with one person (i.e. student) responsible each time for leading the discussions. Nobody will have to lead for more than one paper per semester. We highly encourage students to volunteer for paper presentations, as it is a good opportunity to learn how to give a technical presentation and our reading group is a friendly group of audience to start with.
• Open Problem Bull Sessions -- We pose and attack accessible research problems.
• Road Trips -- We take road trips to the special computational geometry or theory days at NYU, Columbia, and the like.

Course Credit. You can get one credit for participating by simply registering for CSE 642. You are also welcome to come without registering.

Mailing List. We have a mailing list. Further announcement will be distributed through the list. Please subscribe here.

Instructors. Esther Arkin, Michael Bender, Jing Chen, Rezaul Chowdhury, Jie Gao, Rob Johnson, Joe Mitchell, Steve Skiena, and other algorithms faculty.
