Prof. Dan Garcia will teach you some basic Computer Science through an interactive example, a magic trick, and show you the secret behind a very famous game so you’ll never lose again!
The UC Berkeley GamesCrafters research and development group was formed by Dr. Dan Garcia in 2001 to explore the fertile area of combinatorial and computational game theory. At the core of the project is GAMESMAN, a system developed for solving, playing and analyzing two-person, abstract strategy games (e.g., Tic-Tac-Toe, or Chess). Come check us out in Soda Hall on Cal Day! We look forward to seeing you there!
2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
