UC San Diego computer science students took 2nd and 5th at last weekend's ACM Southern California Regional Programming Contest.
The UCSD computer scientists made up 4 of the 63 teams and faced off against teams from schools like CalTech, Harvey Mudd, USC, UCLA, UCSB, UNLV, and UCI.
“We did extremely well. We placed second and fifth. UCSD was the only school to have two teams place in the top five,” said Michael Taylor, the UCSD computer science professor who served as the 2007 ACM Programming Team Faculty Coordinator.
A team from Caltech took first place. The results are available here and a whole bunch of pictures are posted here.
UCSD’s team “Canada” took second place.
