Hello everyone! I am Srijeet. I'm a Masters student in the CS department here at CSU. This is my third semester in the MS program. I'm also the GTA for CS 160. I have always been interested in python and thought that CS 545 would be the best way to learn it. Looking forward to a semester full of fun and learning! :) — srijeet 2012/08/27 18:18

I am Chuck Anderson, the instructor for this course. I have a PhD in computer science from the University of Massachusetts (way back in 1986) and have been teaching at Colorado State University for 21 years. My main research interest is in machine learning, particularly in neural networks and reinforcement learning. — Chuck Anderson 2012/08/20 12:23
