\section*{Membership:}
|
||||
|
||||
Membership in the Computer Science Club is open to anyone willing to join,
|
||||
though voting membership is only open to undergraduate math students at the
|
||||
University of Waterloo. Membership costs \$2 per term and may be paid in
|
||||
advance. What does membership get you?
|
||||
Here's the quick summary: your fee supports club events that are
|
||||
open to all and grants you access to club services such as our computing environment,
|
||||
office, pop fridge, and library. It also makes you eligible for volunteer positions in the club, if you'd
|
||||
prefer to do more than just pay to support our activites.
|
||||
Membership in the Computer Science Club is open to anyone in the University of
|
||||
Waterloo community, costs \$2 per term, and may be paid in
|
||||
advance. Members have lots of benefits, and support our events. In particular,
|
||||
they have access to club services such as our computing environment, web
|
||||
hosting, office, pop fridge, and library.
|
||||
|
||||
\subsection*{Office:}
|
||||
|
||||
The CS Club office can be found in MC 3036/3037. It houses the library, members

\section*{Events:}
|
||||
|
||||
Each term, the CSC runs numerous acadamic and social events.
|
||||
These events run the gamut from
|
||||
socials, the most infamous being the end of term dinner, CTRL-D; through
|
||||
tutorials and workshops, including an introduction to the CS student's best
|
||||
friend: the UNIX environmen; to talks from professors and Computer Science
|
||||
luminaries. Some talks from the past include Bill Gates in 1989 (before he
|
||||
was famous), John McCarthy in 1994 (he created LISP), and more recently,
|
||||
Joel Spolsky of Fog Creek Software, Bjarne Stroustrup, and Richard Stallman.
|
||||
We have also toured the labs of the Institute for Quantum Computing after
|
||||
enjoying a talk from the director Raymond Laflamme on the future of quantum
|
||||
computation and the current state of programming available to quantum
|
||||
computers.
