I found some free time in the midst of extensive preparations ( for the end of semester examinations, I managed to salvage some time to write some Python code (I’ve written so much Java that Python now equals a rub on the temples).

Well, here is a [...]

The question I picked was Problem 33: Find all fractions with the given unorthodox cancelling method [...]

Since I was quite bored this week (thanks to an October break I spent entirely in my room) and a homework assignment that quite seriously sucked balls, I decided to read something about strings and read about Suffix trees and decided to whip up an algorithm that would create a neat suffix tree by walking [...]

Essay Time!
September 26th, 2008 · 2 Comments · Computer Science, python
So, after a ghastly essay season in fall 2007 where I managed to get myself rejected from a bunch of colleges, I find myself in a similar situation again. This time, its Google/MS to whom I should be bragging without seeming like I’m bragging. Although these two have assumed that freshmen are losers, I plan [...]

I had the opportunity to work on an interesting problem:
Find a decent approximation for the Zeta function (large values), given by:
So, to make any sort of headway, I decided that I would have to look at the graph. Hence, I whipped up a script in Python:

I feel like an arsehole right now. I forgot to change the output to god-damned lowercase on an intro CS project and managed to score 90…..
Any way,

Here is the first bit of code I’ve ever written at college (on my own computer though, I’ve concentration problems in the lab). I was solving problem 39 of the project euler problem set (and I am ashamed of my work). So the question is:
If p is the perimeter of a right angle triangle with [...]
