For this event, we are holding a Project Euler problem solving evening.

Adam Townsend - Chocolate Fountains
  
[http://projectwuler.net Project Euler] is a website which hosts over 500 problems which require mathematics and programming to solve. We are getting together on Friday to work together on these problems.

Axel Wagner - The Generalised Prisoner Problem and Morality
 
 
If you haven't done much programming before, then these problems are an excellent way to learn to program - we will have MathSpace members on hand to help you work get started.
 
 
 
If you are an accomplished programmer or have worked on Project Euler before, then come along and we can attempt some of the most difficult problems together.
 
 
 
And if you are in the middle, come along and work on some problems in the middle.
 
 
 
As usual, there will also be cake.
 
 
 
Hope to see you all there!
 
 
 
(PS. Bring a laptop to code on!)
