Hello, As a computer science and engineering major, I am considering math minor or even double major nowadays. My future plans includes academia, so i wanted to ask if math minor or double major brings me any benefits for academia? ...
Hi all, my robotics lab is looking for programmers to work on some projects we have at the moment. We nailed down the requirements (mainly, c++ and experience with openGL and 3D), but due to obvious money constraints we can't afford to hire Great Developers. Instead we're going to settle for Talented Students, offering them projects ...

I am taking classes on software development from University of Phoenix. They keep raising my rates. Anybody know a better/cheaper online-only programming degree I could get that would be more relevant to real life industry use? We are focusing on waterfall SDLC and their is soo much info on installation, training, and implementation. F...
After reading this question, it made me wonder about the benefits of pursuing a degree in Software Engineering as opposed to a degree in Computer Science (both being 4-5 year programs). From what it sounds like, Software Engineering is a "shinier" degree because you have to go through the additional difficulty of learning hardware, circ...
I have a number of images where I know the focal length, pixel count, dimensions and position (from GPS). They are all in a high oblique manner, taken on the ground with commercially available cameras. What would be the best method for calculating the euclidean distances between certain pixels within an image? If it is indeed possible...
What is a degree in Information Systems, and how does it differ from one in Computer Science? ...
Sorry I don't have a direct question. I don't have much in the way of a support group, and need...support I guess. If this is the complete wrong place, I apologize. Profusely. :) I'm a former English Literature student who's making the change to CS next year and I'm getting nervous about it. What can I do to prepare myself for next...
I'm currently a second-year undergraduate computer engineering student, and I'm a big fan of artificial intelligence. I've done formal research in nanotech, but in graduate school, I don't think that research experience will ultimately help me in what I want to do. So, here are the questions I pose: What are some good problems to ex...
As a part of my undergraduate studies I have to do a presentation of 20 mins on any interesting and latest computer science topic in front of a technical audience. On searching for the same I found the following topics interesting Swarm Intelligence, Semantic Web, Ant Colony Optimization Algorithm Any suggestions of topics or referen...
Hi all.. I know this is a very academic question, but I was hoping someone here could help me get an answer. I'm taking a concurrency class in which we use LTS'es and FLTL's. In one of our assignments a question is given: "Give an example of a liveness property, expressed as an FLTL formula, that cannot be expressed as a progress prope...
I am a final year CS student, and very interested about OCR and NLP stuffs. The problem is I don't know anything about OCR yet and my project duration is only for 5 months. I would like to know OCR & NLP stuff that is viable for my project? Is writing a (simple) OCR engine for a single language too hard for my project? What about addi...
I am going to be learning Ruby, Haskell and Prolog at university. Now, I'm wondering what should get most of my attention. I have half a year to do all three, which means I need to decide on one language to get my extracurricular time. The others I will learn just enough to do very good in the course. I am familiar enough with Haskell a...
