Mathematics Education Seminar — Flipped Classrooms in a 3rd Year ACTSC Course

Emily Kozlowski
Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science

A flipped classroom moves the traditional lecture component of teaching outside the classroom, so that it can be replaced with active learning during class time. 

In this talk, I present a brief overview of flipped classrooms, followed by a discussion of the details of its implementation for two lectures during the Spring 2018 offering of ACTSC 331. Students’ responses to the technique are also provided in the form of data from anonymous post-activity surveys.

Anna Lubiw
David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science

In this talk I will look at geometric graph representations from the perspective of three issues: the algorithmic complexity of finding a representation; the bit complexity of the representation; and whether there is a morph between any two combinatorially equivalent representations.

Seminar • Programming Languages — State Machine Replication and the Modern Exchange

Yaron Minsky, Technology Group Head
Jane Street

Electronic exchanges play an important role in the world’s financial system, acting as focal points where actors from across the world meet to trade with each other.

But building an exchange is a difficult technical challenge, requiring high transaction rates, low, deterministic response times, and serious reliability.
