17 Final Poster Symposium

05 May 2016

Students worked on a Final Project in teams of two or three students and presented results as posters on 5/5/2016 in a conference-like setting, which we called the Final Symposium. Each student held a Q&A dicussion with the instructor in front of the poster.¹

Seven teams looked at problems ranging from navigation in the solar system to the best strategy to win Black Jack. Each team started with a proposal, defined goals, and used computational techniques learned during the semester to achieve their goals:

#	title	team	repository
1	ATLAS	@bobbyphysics, @mongoos @awarren9	final-atlas-mission
2	Billiard Simulation	@nsoderberg103, @n-obrien, @kitwingfung	final-billiard-simulatio
3	Blackjack Card Counting Simulation	@rhheilma, @lnbradsh, @jtdwyer93	final-card-counting-simulation
4	Digital Signal Processing Techniques in Python	@izymandias, @skyhugo, @tvanenge	final-digital-signal-processor
5	Predictive Model of the 2016 March Madness Tournament	@bkatterm, @ja-martinez	final-march-madness
6	Rendezvous with Rama: Ramageddon!	@jbboyd, @aamascar, @andywinhold	final-rendezvous-with-ramageddon
7	Stern-Gerlach Simulation	@andrewdurkiewicz, @ion201, @gvetaw	final-stern-gerlach-simulation

The code and the posters are available in the GitHub repositories. Further details, including abstracts and licensing information, is available in the Symposium Program (PDF).

The winner of the Poster Prize was team #4 with the project Digital Signal Processing Techniques in Python.² They generated sound effects in Python and then transferred them to a Raspberry Pi in order to manipulate voice and guitar input in real time.
