From: Jiri Zlatuska Subject: Breznove prednasky Donalda Knutha v Brne Date: Wed, 14 Feb 1996 09:40:10 +0100 (MET) Planovane prednasky Donalda Knutha na Fakulte informatiky MU (v nove budove na Botanicke 68a): streda 6.3. v 10:00: Stanford GraphBase --- Prednaska s on-line demonstraci pod X-windows o systemu programu a referencnich testovacich dat pro kombinatoricke algoritmy. This award-winning book demonstrates the art of literate programming with more than 30 examples. Each example is a programmatic essay: a short story that can be read and enjoyed by human beings as readily as it can be read and interpreted by machines. The programs contain state-of-the-art explanations of many important algorithms and data structures. They also define a workbench for combinatorial computing, and standard sets of data that can be used for benchmark tests of competing methods, as well as demonstration programs and games that make use of the data. streda 6.3. ve 14:30: Random number generation --- The author has recently revised his 1981 book on the subject of generating random numbers, and will discuss the most important lessons he has learned from recent advances in that field. (This incidentally includes random numbers for use on supercomputers and in distributed settings.) Dale probehne v aule Masarykovy univerzity na Pravnicke fakulte (Veveri 60) prednani titulu doktor honoris causa v informatice Donaldu Knuthovi s prednaskou cestneho doktoranda. Tento ceremonial probehne ve ctvrtek 7. brezna v 10:00. (Tentyz den vecer by se mel Donald Knuth zucastnit jako cestny host i vecerniho plesu Fakulty informatiky.) V pondeli 4.3. predpokladame jeste mene formalni seminar ``Otazky a odpovedi'' na obecna temata z informatiky. Blizsi bude upresneno pozdeji v cz.muni.fi. V sobotu 9.3. se dale bude konat prednaska ``Questions and Answers about TeX'' v Modre poslucharne University karlovy v Praze.
