Hi culinairy miracles,A new activity organized by GETAART is coming. Diner rouler! A brand new activity, which you can join with a partner of your choice! The idea of diner rouler is that you create one dish (appetizer, main dish or dessert) together with your partner and you fix a place to serve it (for example at your or your partners place). You will serve this dish to yourself and your partner and two other couples. The other dishes will be taken care of by another couple on another location. This means that you and your partner will consume 3 dishes on 3 different location in the company of 2 other couples per dish, so 6 other couples in total!What makes this activity extra fun is that in just one evening you will be able to mingle with a lot of people, you can express all your culinary creativity and get inspired by the creations of others.We will make a schedule in which we mix up all the couples. And to ensure that traveling between dishes does not take too long, we would like to know where you will serve your dish. But with the new privacy law in mind we do not ask you to put this location on the website instead we ask you to email this information to getaart@gewis.nl. The information will only be communicated to members of GETAART, it will only be used for the schedule and off course all the information on locations will be deleted afterwards.

Digiscanner: The architecture of a real-time vision application. The DigiScanner is a hand-held scanner for orthodontic use. It creates a 3D-model of the jaw using structured light. To go from camera-image to 3D-model, we use several vision algorithms from multiple sources. In developing the application, an architecture was required that is modular and flexible, so we could experiment with multiple ways of combining the different algorithms. In addition, we need all the performance we can get out of our x86 system. This means sharing memory between modules and an effective multi-threading strategy. In this talk, Sioux presents the architecture we developed for this application and show how it combines modularity, maintainability and performance in a single design. About the speaker Koen Rutten is senior software engineer at Sioux. He studied both mathematics and computer science at Utrecht University. He works at Sioux on vision algorithms for embedded applications, with a specialisation on ARM and x86.

Over the last couple of months, the introduction committee has been working very hard to plan an amazing introduction week for all new students, just like last years!

We would like you, as a member of GEWIS, to be an intro parent for the upcoming introduction week! You do not need to have any experience with the introduction week. If you’ve never experienced it yourself, you’re more than welcome to join!

Note that you need to register as a pair of intro parents, so find a friend that wants to join you and register together at rex.gewis.nl (using your GEWIS credentials).Subscribing and participating is free, but you will not automatically be assigned as an intro parent. Usually, due to popularity, we randomly choose pairs of intro parents. Once you’re registered, you’ll get a message in a few weeks whether you are accepted or not.

As a final note, the intro week starts on Monday 20th of August and ends at Friday 24th of August. Once you’re registered, please keep this week free in your agenda.

--- Daily Dinner Dish (€5,50) ---Spaghetti with chicken and cream sauce, combined with a salad.For vegans it is possible to swap the chicken to mushrooms.

--- Legendary Fries Indonesian Style (€5,95) ---French fries with salad, saté stick and saté sauce.For vegans it is possible to swap the saté stick to different kinds of veggies.

After enrolling to this dinner list you still need to order your own food at Hubble; this list is just an indication for them how much ingredients they should buy, what keeps the prices low.

We are a small business employing six people, of which five TU/e engineers (mathematics and computer science).

AlgebraKiT offers an online system for interactive mathematics, used by educative math publishers. Our tools enable interactive exercises with step-by-step evaluation, hints, error feedback and unlimited training.

During this lecture we will discuss the key elements that make AlgebraKiT unique in interactive mathematics. Applications like Wolfram Alpha are used in abundance to solve pretty much any mathematical problem in the blink of an eye, but use theory way too complex for a high school student to understand. Our application is built from the perspective of a student, using only the knowledge he or she has at any given time in their education. We will talk in more detail about the challenges that arise with this approach.

We will also discuss the extensive range of additional requirements that apply to offer our solution to large publishers. We show how we set up our architecture and how we organise development with a small team.

Sinds het digitale tijdperk is informatie veel inzichtelijker geworden. Zo is er snel een mening over jou te vormen door de manier hoe jij jezelf online profileert. Ook het sollicitatieproces is veranderd, zoeken doen we via jobboards en Google. Gevonden worden we via Social Media. Hoe gebruik je Social Media het meest effectief, hoe word je goed gevonden en wat kun je maar beter afschermen voor je toekomstige werkgever? We gaan erop in tijdens de training: Welke indruk maak jij? Uiteraard wordt er ook aandacht besteed aan alle onderdelen van het sollicitatieproces aan de hand van sprekende filmpjes en voorbeelden.

[Maximum aantal deelnemers: 30, studenten in hun master krijgen hierbij voorrang]

The National Mathematics Symposium 2018, themed `Modern World Mathematics', will take place on the 20th of March 2018! You can subscribe via nws2018.nl.

The day will look as follows: you will be welcomed at the Natlab with some coffee and tea around 9.30, after which we will all start with the opening lecture given by Bert Zwart. This lecture will be about the mathematical problems which occur in rare events in power grids, such as failures and blackouts. After this lecture the group will be divided over the first two parallel lectures. One of these lectures will be given by Andreas Hülsing and will be about online privacy in a post-quantum world. The other lecture will be given by Jules Kruijswijk about the multi-armed bandit algorithm. This is an adaptation to the one-armed bandit (aka slotmachines), which aims to maximize your profits at these machines.

After these lectures, it is time to have lunch, during which you will have the possibility to visit the stands of companies to get to know more about them. When we have all eaten enough, you can choose between three workshops; Itility will give you a challenge to solve a problem with a given data set and algorithm, Optiver will play a game that will give you insight how mathematical and analytical skills are practically applied in a trading firm, and TNO will let you work on a current, modern day case, where using mathematical knowledge is the key to solving the problem. When the workshops are finished, there will be time to grab a cup of coffee or tea and a snack, before we will go to the last round of lectures.

First, there will be the second parallel lecture session this time with lectures given by Björn Baumeier and the Belastingdienst. Björn will talk about the challenges of multiscale molecular modeling, and the Belastingdienst will explain the mathematical technics behind money and informationstreams. Note, the talk of the Belastingdienst will be given in Dutch. Following to this parallel session will be the closing lecture, given by Deloitte, which will be about data analytics in machine learning. The day will be concluded with a social drink.

For more in-depth information about the talks and the speakers, you can go to our website nws2018.nl. One note to the subscriptions: some lectures have a limit on the amount of people who can follow it, therefore when asked to fill in the subscription form you can give preferences and the subscription is not definite. However, we will use the first come first serve principle, thus don’t wait too long with subscribing.

Front-end webdevelopment, why should you bother?In older days front-end development was about placing the correct tables in a table to render a table to behave like a sidebar with a nested table but then the world changed in a Flash® and everything was pretty. Too pretty some would say and whilst it was pretty, it was not build with tables. Table rebels in the form of the Fruit squad banned the Flash®y world from their “telephone”; the world was in utter shock.

Fast forward to today; what has happened? What changed? Where are the tables? Join me and I’ll explain everything!

Dear GEWIS'ers,

“Nothing goes above Groningen!” is a well-known saying in Dutch and ATHENA would like to give you that experience. We are organizing a city trip to Groningen, from the 2nd of March until the 4th of March 2018. During this weekend we ensure you will have a nice place to sleep in a hostel which is about a 10 minute walk from the city center. This hostel includes all needed bed linen, so you won’t need to bring your own sleeping bag. On Friday we will be organizing a pub crawl, which will probably be in collaboration with study association Cover and FMF (if not with Cover and FMF, then we will just have our own pub crawl). The next day we will climb the Martinitoren and have an amazing view over Groningen. Furthermore, in the afternoon there will be a nice cocktail workshop, where we will build, shake and stir all kinds of different cocktails. Of course, there is also an option to attend this workshop with non-alcoholic cocktails. The rest of the day will be for yourself to explore the city. We have read some rumors about a very first dog-café that will be opening in Groningen, if those rumors are true we might visit on Sunday morning to drink coffee/tea and hug some cute puppies. This city trip will cost you 35 euros, which includes the stay in the hostel, climbing the Martinitoren and joining the cocktail workshop. Note that you need to arrange your own transport, any other drinks and food are excluded. Would you like to visit Groningen together with ATHENA? Apart from the organizing committee, there is only a maximum of 34 spots. The subscription list will be open until Sunday the 28th of January.

For the first 34 people of the list, we kindly ask you to transfer the 35 euros to the GEWIS bank account (NL22ABNA0528195913 tnv GEWIS) indicating "ATHENA City Trip [first name][surname]", Sunday the 28th of January at the latest. Furthermore, please send an e-mail to athena@gewis.nl confirming your payment.

We hope to see you there!

Love,ATHENA

[This lecture will be in Dutch] Machine Learning is nog niet bij iedereen bekend, maar toch komen we het vaker tegen dan we denken. Gebruik je Google Maps? Google Translate? Zie je (Facebook) advertenties? Krijg je GEEN spam meer binnen? Dan helpt Machine Learning je al om het dagelijkse leven wat makkelijker te maken. Om van Machine Learning technieken gebruik te kunnen maken, is het belangrijk om voldoende (=zo veel mogelijk) data te hebben. Als bank hebben we die data. Met de verbetering van hardware en software de afgelopen jaren, is het voor iedereen mogelijk om er gebruik van te kunnen maken. Mits je natuurlijk weet waar je mee bezig bent. Het begrijpen van de mogelijke toepassingen van Machine Learning, is waar het Technologie Centrum van de Volksbank zich mee bezig houdt. Het Technologie Centrum is een afdeling waar vanuit de techniek gekeken wordt naar mogelijke toepassingen van nieuwe (veel belovende) technieken. Met het doel om het dagelijks leven (/bankieren) voor klanten makkelijker, sneller en veiliger te maken. Wie zijn we? De Volksbank N.V. gaat met de merken ASN Bank, BLG Wonen, RegioBank en SNS de uitdaging aan om de menselijke maat in bankieren terug te brengen.

Borrelen is iets wat we maar al te graag doen. Het is niet alleen gezellig, het kan ook nuttig zijn. Beiden gaan we combineren: Jezelf voorstellen aan anderen is iets wat we dagelijks doen. Ook op een netwerkborrel, tijdens een feestje of een vergadering. Hoe presenteer je jezelf en hoe zorg je er voor dat je je doel bereikt met een goede indruk en een kort en krachtig verhaal? In de workshop ‘Effectief borrelen’ staan we stil wat jij uit je borrel wilt halen en kom je in beweging dit zelf te bereiken.

De volgende keer dat jij naar een borrel gaat ben je niet alleen goed voorbereid, het wordt ook nog effectiever en leuker!

Op dinsdag 6 februari organiseert TRAIN de training 'Effectief vergaderen'. Nadenken, vergaderen en discussiëren doe je niet op een lege maag, en daarom bieden wij de mogelijkheid om hapje mee te eten. Omdat het benodigde aantal eters om catering van Mevr. Brants te regelen niet gehaald is, is er de mogelijkheid om eten te bestellen bij Slagerij Beerens.

Kun je niet bij de training zijn maar heb je geen zin om af te wassen die avond of wordt je innerlijke foodie gelijk enthousiast als hij deze culinaire hoogstandjes ziet? Dan ben je ook welkom om gezellig met ons mee te eten!

Gelieve naast het gerecht dat je wilt ook nog de portiegrootte en vleeskeuze aan te geven.

Practical Route Planning Algorithms for Logistics Many applications in logistics require that “vehicle routing problems” are solved. Planning how a fleet of trucks should be used to deliver an amount of orders at low fuel cost and also fast would be a typical example. A central part of such a planning is to compute the travel costs between the involved addresses. Doing that efficiently is an interesting problem itself. The talk discusses some pretty advanced and clever algorithms from that area. The discussed algorithms are not only interesting results of academic research. They are actually used by the industry to solve real problems for real customers, helping to deliver real goods. Have fun.

Dear GEWIS'ers,

ATHENA will be organizing their yearly High Beer on February 5th this year. Yes yes, this is indeed the Monday after the examinations, so you probably have nothing else to do! We have prepared a card with 5 different beers, where each beer will be served with a delicious homemade bite. For this years edition, we also thought about the non-beerdrinkers, since there are also cards with two special soda's including the same 5 bites as the beercards. Furthermore, if you do not want the whole card with 5 beers, or you just want an extra beer after finishing your card, you can also buy the beers independently (without bite).

We hope to see you then!

Love,ATHENA

Dear everyone,The Supremum committee is looking for GEWIS-members (or committees) who feel like writing an article for upcoming edition (50.1). The theme of next edition will be "50 shades of Supremum". In this edition we will take a look at the changes the Supremum has made over the past 50 years. You can choose to write something related to the theme (recommended), or write an article about another, interesting theme. You can either write an one page article (around 500 words with a maximum of 550) or a two page article (around 1250 words, with a maximum of 1300). If you are really ambitious, you can write an even bigger article (2+ pages). Just contact one member of the Supremum committee for more information on bigger articles.

Another option you can make, is whether you want a regular or a features article. The send-in deadline for features articles (21/01/2018) is two weeks earlier than the deadline for the regular articles (04/02/2018). However, a featured article will get a more detailed design as our design team has more time to work on those articles.

If you, or your committee, want to write an article, please subscribe to this activity (or mail to supremum@gewis.nl). After the reply deadline on 07/01/2018, our mailing team will send out a document with more information about writing an article.

The Statistics Behind Experimentation at Booking.com

by Raphael Lopez Kaufman At Booking.com we have been using online controlled experiments, also called A/B tests, for more than ten years to conduct evidence based product development. Overall, on a daily basis, all members of our departments run and analyse more than a thousand concurrent experiments to quickly validate new ideas. These experiments run across all our products, from mobile apps and tools used by hoteliers to customer service phone lines and internal systems. In this talk, I will try to motivate why online giants such as Google, Facebook, Amazon or Booking.com run online controlled experiments and why we need statistics to analyse experiment results. After having described the theoretical framework which underpins online experimentation, the Neymar-Rubin causal model, I will go into more details about how this framework is used at Booking.com, with concrete examples. Finally, I will describe the common pitfalls we need to guard against to make sure product teams are not chasing statistical ghosts, and I will conclude with some of the statistical challenges we are facing to enable faster and more reliable experimentation across the board. Note: After subscription, showing up is mandatory!

To make software testing possible all together, it is crucial to define the ‘how to test’. In an embedded environment, the hardware is commonly very scarce, if available at all. Test automation is therefore not a choice, it is a necessity. In the presentation “Test Automation - About breaking stuff efficiently” Dirk Coppelmans will dive deeper into this challenge and the ways to cope with it.Dirk Coppelmans is software test architect at Sioux. Throughout his career he has been involved in the development of consumer products, medical equipment and industrial machinery. In his role as test architect, he defines how the software of a product in development needs to be tested. This means defining what to test, when to test, how to test and how thorough to test it.

To give you a flavor of the sort of work mathematicians and information engineers do at Rijkswaterstaat, we will present you with a few recent examples. Daniel van der Maas (Bachelor in Physics and Mathematics and Mastered in Mathematical Physics) works at Rijkswaterstaat as a Data Scientist since January 2017. He will outline the approach he devised for automatic geographical map generation from aerial and satellite pictures, using deep learning methodologies. He will briefly introduce the techniques involved and will pay special attention to the way he got involved in the project and why a mathematical background proved to be extremely useful. Quirine de Kloet also started in January 2017 at Rijkswaterstaat to extend our Applied Data Science capabilities. She graduated as a Bachelor in Applied Mathematics followed by a Master in Applied Mathematics, specializing in Mathematical Physics. Before joining us as an employee, Quirine completed her Master Thesis at Rijkswaterstaat, titled ‘Modeling of Traffic on Fairways (Optimizing the Allocation of Traffic) on which she will elaborate today: although a lot of research has been conducted on road traffic and multiple models have been invented and applied, the topic of traffic on fairways has been largely neglected. The research goal for the graduation project was therefor to define a model that can simulate traffic on fairways, using it to optimize traffic allocation.

The history and future of software testing

What comes to your mind if you think about ‘testing’ as a profession? Fun? Boring? Exciting? Well, to be honest, many people think it’s pretty boring, very monotonous and an annoying task to do. They definitely don’t see themselves as future bug-hunters. That’s a pity as testing is actually big fun!

In this presentation, you will learn what testing is, why it’s so much fun and why it will even be more so in the future. You will be taken through a brief history of this profession, starting at the moment the first bug was found and taking you to where it is today – a time where testers are working in multidisciplinary teams and where testing is highly automated and technical. It doesn't stop there. You will also be taken to the near future, where testing is done using bots, machine learning and artificial intelligence. And we will show you how we already apply these technologies today in our work.

About the speakerBart Vrenegoor began his career as a software tester 13 years ago. He currently works as a test manager for Cognizant Technology Solutions, helping clients like ING, de Volksbank and DLL to solve their challenges with testing in large international projects. Bart is also a public speaker, author and coach.

Deep Learning & AI: What's behind the hype curtain Self-driving cars, Siri, Cancer sniffers, Shark & seacow monitoring, fraud detection, recognizing people .. deep learning seems to be doing everything the past five years. Being an old and relatively simple mathematical technique in origin, we will explain what deep learning is and how it works, what its limitations are, where it is going, why you might care, and how you can start at home. We'll also set aside some time to discuss AI-taking-over-the-world scenarios, figure out how fast we'll all be losing our jobs. Note: Lunch will be distributed directly after the lecture!

Donald Knuth is a smart man with ideas. If smart people have ideas, they write books about it. But Donald was fed up with the available text processing software for writing books, so he wrote his own. This became LaTeX.

Nowadays, LaTeX is the de facto standard in scientific text processing. It has built-in support for all sorts of mathematical characters, it can be used for lots of things, like homework, presentations and resumes and it makes your life a lot easier. As a mathematician you will first use LaTeX in Q1 during the Linear Algebra 1 course, as a computer scientist, you will use it during Data Structures in Q3.

Because LaTeX is an invaluable skill when you are studying Mathematics or Computer Science, TRAIN is offering a LaTeX-training! We have asked Bor de Kock, who is famous for making LaTeX fun, to give you this training, we will provide some snacks and drinks and there will be an eating list so you can fill your stomach before diving into the world of scientific test processing.

Choo Choo,TRAIN

NOTE: THERE ARE ONLY 80 SPOTS AVAILABLE

To still your hunger before the LaTeX course, TRAIN will accommodate a nutritious meal. This meal will consist of wraps with a wide variety of contents. To make use of this facility we ask you to subscribe here.

NOTE: subscribing = paying!!!

There will be a moment you have to earn money to make a living. It’s your life, you have to make Your decisions. To find your path isn’t predictable, you have to trust your skills, intuition, a shortest path algorithm or maybe even the universe. It’s sometimes tough, but it’s definitely wonderful as well. This lunch we want to invite you to think about your own process. We will show how we started with computer science (Harm) and mathematics (Loes), what difficulties we faced and what it means to work in a company like Nedap. This way we hopefully open a door. Because that’s what we do best: creating security solutions connected with doors. World-renowned companies use our systems more than 37 million times a day for security and building management and controlling people flow. At Nedap, we believe that people make the difference. Both in our own company and in the things we build, we focus on trust and giving back control whenever possible. We help companies set people free through technology, and simply watch what happens. It is magical. Be welcome! Note: Lunch will be distributed directly after the lecture!

Hi fellow GEWIS'ers,

We want to found a new commission which organises a cool ski/snowboard trip. Now we would like to know how many of you are interested in joining us next winter (2017/2018). So if you'd like to participate, let us know below! Experience doesn't matter.

Attention: we also ask for the amount of days you'd like to go. This depends on the price of course. The prices are a rough estimate. The amount of days are the amount of days spent skiing/snowboarding. The actual trip will probably take two more days (travel time). And: this is about the costs of: transport, accommodation, skiing pass, materials. Costs for food and the optional skiing/snowboarding lessons are exclusive.

Regards,GEWISKI
