It is the first time a U of L team has won the regional competition.</p><p>Three other U of L teams participated at the event, which was held Friday and Saturday at the Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ of Alberta, and all finished in the top half of the competition.<div class="video-filter"><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/xIpHytrucjk?modestbranding=0&amp;html5=1&amp;rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;loop=0&amp;controls=1&amp;autohide=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;theme=dark&amp;color=red&amp;enablejsapi=0" width="400" height="400" class="video-filter video-youtube video-right vf-xiphytrucjk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true"></iframe></div></p><p>Students are given a series of complex, real-world problems that they must solve over a five-hour time period. Competitors race against the clock, and each other, in a battle of strategy, logic and mental endurance. Teammates collaborate to rank the difficulty of the problems, deduce the requirements, design test beds, and write programs that solve the problems under the intense scrutiny of expert judges. For a well-versed computer science student, some of the problems require precision only. Others require a knowledge and understanding of advanced algorithms. Still others are simply too hard to solve &ndash; except, of course, for the world&rsquo;s brightest problem-solvers.</p><p>This is the second year in a row that the U of L will be sending a team to the world finals. Associate professor of mathematics and computer science, Dr. Howard Cheng, and coach of the U of L programming teams, led a team to a second-place finish at last year&rsquo;s regional competition (which included Best and Martin).</p><p>While the results speak to the talent of the U of L teams, Cheng says the students deserve credit for their hard work.</p><p>&ldquo;They have all worked very hard for this,&rdquo; says Cheng.&nbsp;&ldquo;Our top team has been practicing close to 10 hours a week for the past few weeks, but even some of the other teams put in close to 7 hours a week, on top of all the assignments and midterms they have to worry about.&rdquo;</p><p>This past year 29,479 contestants from 2,322 universities in 91 countries competed in regional competitions at over 300 sites worldwide. Only 120 teams from regional contests servicing universities worldwide will advance to the World Finals.</p><p>&ldquo;The commitment of Dr. Cheng and the experience these students receive from an academic and international perspective is a reflection of the type of institution we have become,&rdquo; says Provost and Vice-President (Academic) Dr. Andy Hakin. &ldquo;We are very proud of the accomplishments and results our students achieve and, through the efforts of our faculty and staff, proud that we are able to offer these types of experiences to our students.&rdquo;</p><p>The entire roster of U of L competitors includes Barahimi, Best, Martin, Brandon Fuller, Camara Lerner, Vince Weiler, Lindsay Ablonczy, Matt Basaraba, Kai Fender, Kyle Link, Chris Thomas and Justin Werre.</p>

schema:articleBody"> <p>The recent winners of a spot in a prestigious international computer science and mathematics challenge competition are going to have to brush up on their Russian – and quickly.</p><p>A team of Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ of Lethbridge computer science and physics students, coached by Dr. Howard Cheng, placed second of 49 teams from western Canada and the northwestern United States at the ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC) Rocky Mountain competition at the end of October.</p><p>The team's success landed three members (Hugh Ramp, Chris Martin and Darcy Best) of the U of L group on the elite roster of competitors at the ICPC World Finals to be held in St. Petersburg, Russia, June 30 to July 4, 2013. It is the first time the U of L has qualified students for the world finals.</p><p><div class="image-caption-container" style="width:437px;"><img src="/unews/sites/default/files/main/articles/math-to-russia.jpg" alt="Math Russia" title="Front row (l to r) Hugh Ramp, fourth-year physics, Dr. Howard Cheng, team coach; Back row (l to r) Chris Martin, third-year computer science, Darcy Best, second-year mathematics."><div class="image-caption">Front row (l to r) Hugh Ramp, fourth-year physics, Dr. Howard Cheng, team coach; Back row (l to r) Chris Martin, third-year computer science, Darcy Best, second-year mathematics.</div></div></p><p>"The team also won a warm-up event two weeks before the regional contest (the Alberta Collegiate Programming Contest) where we took the top spot in the province, and the students have put in a tremendous amount of training into this effort," says Cheng.</p><p>The events leading up to, and including, the St. Petersburg events are a gruelling series of problem-solving boot camps, competitions and drills designed to enhance the students' ability to work as a team under relentless pressure, the watchful eyes of the world's best judges and extremely strict working conditions.</p><p>"They trained for hours on weekends as well as a few evenings just before the regional contest. This is in addition to the years of practices they have had, including taking a course (CPSC 3200) that teaches many of the topics they had to know for this contest. Top IT employers such as IBM and Google value these contests and commonly test applicants with programming contest puzzles during interviews, so there is definitely a career-related aspect to knowing how these types of puzzles work."</p><p>St. Petersburg National Research Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ of Information Technologies, Mechanics and Optics (ITMO) hosts the ICPC World Finals. Only 115 of the top teams in the world make it to the final competition.</p><p>"This is an outstanding achievement for our students and their coaching and mentoring group," says Dr. Chris Nicol, Dean of the Faculty of Arts &amp; Science. "Howard has done an excellent job of building up the team's strength and developing its real-world experience in mathematics and computer science through these competitions. They have been consistently successful at regional competitions, and that success is now paying off. We wish them well in their future efforts at the world finals in Russia this summer."</p><p>At the ACM Rocky Mountain Regional Contest at the Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ of Alberta in October, U of L teams placed second, 12th, 28th, and 34th of 49 groups.</p><p>The full U of L contingent features: Darcy Best, Chris Martin, Hugh Ramp, Rio Lowry, Chris Thomas, Kim Wikkerink, Mark Hunter, Ian Stewart, Fei Wang, Camara Lerner, Jason Racine and Vince Weiler.</p><p><em>This story first appeared in the December 2012 issue of the Legend.

class="field-items"> <div class="field-item even" property="rnews:articlebody schema:articleBody"> <p>A 12-person group is split into four groups of three, and has to solve nine complex computer programming problems in a very short time. All the while, they are competing against more than 50 other teams from across North America as part of the Rocky Mountain region of the Association for Computing Machinery's (ACM) International Collegiate Programming Contest.</p> <p>How did the Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ of Lethbridge group fare? Very well. Of the four teams in the competition from the U of L, one group took second place and three other teams landed in the middle third of the results &ndash; 23rd, 25th, and 29th place overall.<br> <br> "Students have to apply what they learn in different courses, and some problems require knowledge of techniques or algorithms that are not taught in any course," says team advisor<br> Dr. Howard Cheng (<a href="http://www.cs.uleth.ca/" rel="nofollow">mathematics and computer science</a>). "These are taught during our regular practice sessions, where the teams spend several hours per week training for this contest."</p> <p>The competition draws students from large and small colleges and universities throughout Arizona, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Eastern Nevada, Idaho, Montana, Alberta, Saskatchewan and New Mexico. The group received funding from the <a href="http://www.uleth.ca/fas" rel="nofollow">Faculty of Arts and Science</a> as well as <a href="http://www.albertainnovates.ca/technology/" rel="nofollow">Alberta Innovates &ndash; Technology Futures</a> to support the costs for participation.</p> <p>Cheng says the contest requires logical thinking skills and precise implementation of their ideas.</p> <p>"If their solution is incorrect for even one test case, it is considered wrong," he says.</p> <p>The groups had limited time to complete a series of nine problems, which ranged from supposedly simple, to very complex.</p> <p>"We had to figure out how to write code based on where the letter 't' appeared in a series of words," says Keilan Scholten, a third year mathematics and computer science student. "It seems simple, but we wound up using more than an hour and a half of our time allotment. The first six of our problems were done in just over two hours."</p> <p>Among the problems, the group successfully created a ranking of teams for a soccer league, figured out the maximum number of climbers a piece of climbing rope can support and worked out a way to determine if packages of certain dimensions were the right size to be mailed.</p> <p>Team group members included: (Team A) Darcy Best, Keilan Scholten, Hugh Ramp; (Team B) Jeremy Andrijancic, Johnny Boldt, Kim Wikkerink; (Team C) Mark Fischer, Mark Hunter, Fern Leavens; (Team D) Falcon Momot, Jason Racine and Fei Wang. Best (fourth year), Ramp (second year) and Scholten (third year) also finished third in the Alberta Collegiate Programming Contest, held in mid-October as a warm-up to the regional contest.</p>
