Intro to Version Control using Git and GitHub

Tristan Naumann

Add to Calendar Jan/24 Wed 05:00PM-07:00PM TBD, Bring your laptop.

Enrollment: Unlimited: No advance sign-up
Prereq: Basic shell familiarity is helpful

Version control systems are essential for the organization of multi-developer projects. Likewise, familiarity with such tools can greatly simplify even small projects. This short course will discuss version control as a problem and focus on how it can be managed with Git. Further, we will discuss how to share code using GitHub and some common workflows.

Git is a free and open source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects. GitHub is a web-based hosting service for projects using Git which has quickly become one of the most popular code repository sites for open source projects.

Introduction to Functional Programming in Haskell

Austin Garrett

Add to Calendar Jan/16 Tue 05:00PM-07:00PM 1-115, Bring your laptop.

Enrollment: Unlimited: No advance sign-up
Prereq: Familiarity with programming is helpful

Pure functions, immutable data, and recursion oh my! Maybe you've heard people talk about functional programming, but what does it all mean?

This class aims to give a general overview of what functional programming is all about, through an introduction to Haskell. Haskell is a pure, strongly-typed functional programming language that has enjoyed a large amount of interest in the past few years. In this talk, I'll try to show you how fun functional programming in Haskell can be, and ultimately how functional languages can help to make your code safer from bugs, more understandable, and simpler (yes, simpler!)

The Technology & Cyberlaw Clinic represents MIT and BU students who run
into legal issues with their academic and innovative work. Since the
clinic launched in September we’ve worked with dozens of students at MIT
with their legal issues, and in this class we’ll go over some common
legal issues that we see, and how you can navigate them to effectively
research, experiment, publish, and share your work.

Some of the issues we’ll go over include:

* intellectual property
* hacking laws
* data privacy
* FOIA and public records
* academic freedom and the law

We’ll also solicit other topics from the group. Discussions and
presentations will be lead by the student attorneys in the Technology &
Cyberlaw Clinic, as well as the clinic’s director, Andy Sellars, who
previously co-taught IAP classes on reverse engineering and coders' rights.

Attendance: Participants must attend all sessions
Prereq: MIT Community members

Ever felt inadequate, disheartened, paralyzed, or anxious because of that judgmental negative voice in your mind? What are you telling yourself in the face of dreams, opportunities, challenges, and failures? Inner Critic, the negative voice that arises in our mind, is a natural part of human experience. Inner critic can send us through an emotional downward spiral if we do not know how to manage it.

How you talk to yourself matters. 

Interwoven with real-life stories and insights experienced by MIT students and alums, these workshops will teach practical tools to help you discover blind spots and manage inner critic.

Enrollment: Limited: Advance sign-up required
Attendance: Participants welcome at individual sessions

Signup at https://goo.gl/forms/jEXwu5tz53QSCpIm1

Patent protection for inventions is a valuable component of business strategy for startups and established companies. We'll  cover  basics of U.S. patent law, including the patent application process, prosecution, litigation, and licensing. Undergraduates, graduate students, and post-docs in science, engineering, and business are welcome. We discuss what recent developments in patent law mean for inventors, and draw examples ranging from the computer software to the pharmaceutical industries.

Some questions we will explore:
• What is the difference between a patent and a trade secret?
• Which inventions are patentable?
• What are the "novelty" & "non-obviousness" standards for patentability?
• Why am I an author on the paper, but not listed as an inventor on the patent?
• What if I want a patent, but my co-inventor doesn't (or is deceased)?
• What should I do if my patent application is rejected?
• If someone is practicing my patent without my permission, how can I stop them?
• If I am accused of patent infringement, what recourse do I have?
• What questions should I ask my patent attorney?

Julian has patent experience at three different law firms in New York &
Washington DC, and holds degrees in electrical engineering, business, and
law from NYU. In addition to MIT, Julian has taught this seminar at
Wharton, NYU, and three universities in Singapore.

Prereq: None

Modern robots tend to operate at slow speeds in complex environments, limiting their utility in high-tempo applications. In the RACECAR course, you will be tasked with pushing the boundaries of unmanned vehicle speed. Participants will work in teams of 4-5 to develop dynamic autonomy software to race a converted RC car equipped with LIDAR, a stereo camera, an inertial measurement unit, and embedded processing around a large-scale, "real-world" course. Working from a baseline autonomy stack, teams will modify the software to increase platform velocity to the limits of stability. The course culminates with a timed competition to navigate a racecourse. Classes will provide lecture overviews of relevant algorithms and lab time with instructor-assisted development. Participants must attend every class and should plan on 4-10 hours per week of self-directed development. Students must have experience with software development. Past exposure to robotics algorithms and/or embedded programming will be useful.

To sign up, preregister on websis and send an e-mail by Jan 5 to racecar-iap-course-subscribe@mit.edu with a brief description of your programming/robotics experience.

Also offered for credit as 6.S184.

While teaching higher-level ideas, we'll switch to using TensorFlow's high-level interface for programming more sophisticated neural networks without having to think about computing derivatives manually. Finally, we'll introduce cutting-edge ideas from deep learning research, and try to replicate some of the latest results ourselves.
