Cafe Meetup 4/4: Surprising Cross-Domain Applications

Cafe Meetup 4/4: Surprising Cross-Domain Applications Author: Silas Barta Categories: Events The proof that …999 = -1 seemed merely academic, until they started having computers represent negative numbers that way. The Gale-Shapley algorithm for the Stable Marriage Problem was obscure, until they started using it to match medical students to residencies. What are other cases where knowledge in one domain had surprising applications in another one? We’ll discuss at the meetup! *** The meetup is at Central Market, 4001 N. Lamar, in the cafe area. Look for the LW and SSC signs. People start arriving at 1:30 pm, and the main activity (such as it is) will begin at 2:30 pm. Please follow in-store signs and guidance. View this post online & share!

We’re in the upstairs patio area.
