      <pubDate>Wed, 03 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate>
      <guid>http://delaram.lmu.build/courses/cmsi-5998/papers/</guid>
      <description>&lt;h1 id=&#34;paper-presentation-guidelines&#34;&gt;Paper Presentation Guidelines&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&#34;overview&#34;&gt;Overview&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each student will present one academic paper to the class. This presentation will serve as an opportunity to deeply engage with current research in ubiquitous computing and develop critical analysis skills.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&#34;presentation-format&#34;&gt;Presentation Format&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Presentation Length: 20 minutes&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Discussion Period: 10 minutes&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Total Time: 30 minutes per presentation&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&#34;paper-selection&#34;&gt;Paper Selection&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Students can choose from two options:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Select a paper from the provided reading list below&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Choose their own paper from top-tier venues such as:
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;UbiComp&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;UIST&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;CCS&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;PerCom&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;SIGCHI&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;IEEE Pervasive Computing (Magazine)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Personal and Ubiquitous Computing (Journal)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If selecting your own paper, ensure it aligns with the course themes and comes from a reputable academic venue. All paper selections should be approved by the instructor.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&#34;presentation-requirements&#34;&gt;Presentation Requirements&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As the &amp;ldquo;paper expert,&amp;rdquo; you are expected to:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Read the paper thoroughly&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Prepare clear and engaging slides&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Lead the class discussion&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Answer questions about the paper&amp;rsquo;s content&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Facilitate meaningful dialogue about the paper&amp;rsquo;s implications&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&#34;presentation-and-discussion-facilitation--guidelines&#34;&gt;Presentation and Discussion Facilitation  Guidelines&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Your presentation should address key aspects of the paper and generate thoughtful discussion. Consider these questions while preparing your presentation and facilittation of the class discussion:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&#34;critical-analysis-points&#34;&gt;Critical Analysis Points&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;How well is the work motivated?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;What real-world impact could this research have?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Are the methods and approaches sound?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;How does this work relate to and build upon prior research?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Are the experiments well-designed and executed?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;What are the main research questions being addressed?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;How well-supported are the paper&amp;rsquo;s claims?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;What assumptions underlie the work?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;How generalizable are the findings?&lt;/li&gt;

      <description>&lt;h2 id=&#34;-project-structure&#34;&gt;🚀 Project Structure&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The semester-long project is your opportunity to design and implement a significant ubiquitous computing system. Working in teams of 3 students, you&amp;rsquo;ll develop a solution that demonstrates practical application of course concepts.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&#34;project-categories&#34;&gt;Project Categories&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Teams may choose one of the following approaches:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Functional Prototype&lt;/strong&gt;: Develop a working ubiquitous computing system that implements context-awareness, seamless interaction, and real-world sensing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Design Innovation&lt;/strong&gt;: Create a comprehensive technical exploration of a novel ubiquitous computing concept, including detailed specifications and interaction models.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Critical Analysis System&lt;/strong&gt;: Develop a system that examines existing ubiquitous computing paradigms, proposing innovative solutions while considering ethical implications.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&#34;project-milestones&#34;&gt;Project Milestones&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Problem statement and motivation&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;User requirements and scenarios&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Technical feasibility analysis&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Initial architecture proposal&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Design and Architecture (Week 8)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;System architecture&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Interface design&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Technical specifications&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Initial prototype&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Implementation and Testing (Week 12)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Working prototype&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Test results&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;User feedback&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Implementation challenges and solutions&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Final Delivery (Week 16)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Complete working system&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Comprehensive documentation&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Final presentation&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Project reflection&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&#34;milestone-deliverables&#34;&gt;Milestone Deliverables&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each milestone includes:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Written documentation&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In-class demonstration&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Peer feedback session&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&#34;evaluation-criteria&#34;&gt;Evaluation Criteria&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Projects will be assessed on:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Technical innovation (25%)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Design thinking (25%)&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Slides can be added in a few ways:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Create&lt;/strong&gt; slides using Academic&amp;rsquo;s 
&lt;a href=&#34;https://sourcethemes.com/academic/docs/managing-content/#create-slides&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener&#34;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Slides&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt; feature and link using &lt;code&gt;slides&lt;/code&gt; parameter in the front matter of the talk file&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Upload&lt;/strong&gt; an existing slide deck to &lt;code&gt;static/&lt;/code&gt; and link using &lt;code&gt;url_slides&lt;/code&gt; parameter in the front matter of the talk file&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Embed&lt;/strong&gt; your slides (e.g. Google Slides) or presentation video on this page using 
&lt;a href=&#34;https://sourcethemes.com/academic/docs/writing-markdown-latex/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener&#34;&gt;shortcodes&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Further talk details can easily be added to this page using &lt;em&gt;Markdown&lt;/em&gt; and $\rm \LaTeX$ math code.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Writing technical content in Academic</title>
      <link>http://delaram.lmu.build/post/writing-technical-content/</link>
      <pubDate>Fri, 12 Jul 2019 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate>
      <guid>http://delaram.lmu.build/post/writing-technical-content/</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Academic is designed to give technical content creators a seamless experience. You can focus on the content and Academic handles the rest.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Highlight your code snippets, take notes on math classes, and draw diagrams from textual representation.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On this page, you&amp;rsquo;ll find some examples of the types of technical content that can be rendered with Academic.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&#34;examples&#34;&gt;Examples&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&#34;code&#34;&gt;Code&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Academic supports a Markdown extension for highlighting code syntax. You can enable this feature by toggling the &lt;code&gt;highlight&lt;/code&gt; option in your &lt;code&gt;config/_default/params.toml&lt;/code&gt; file.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;```python
import pandas as pd
data = pd.read_csv(&amp;quot;data.csv&amp;quot;)
data.head()
```
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;renders as&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code class=&#34;language-python&#34;&gt;import pandas as pd
data = pd.read_csv(&amp;quot;data.csv&amp;quot;)
data.head()
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&#34;math&#34;&gt;Math&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Academic supports a Markdown extension for $\LaTeX$ math. You can enable this feature by toggling the &lt;code&gt;math&lt;/code&gt; option in your &lt;code&gt;config/_default/params.toml&lt;/code&gt; file.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To render &lt;em&gt;inline&lt;/em&gt; or &lt;em&gt;block&lt;/em&gt; math, wrap your LaTeX math with &lt;code&gt;$...$&lt;/code&gt; or &lt;code&gt;$$...$$&lt;/code&gt;, respectively.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Example &lt;strong&gt;math block&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code class=&#34;language-tex&#34;&gt;$$\gamma_{n} = \frac{ 
\left | \left (\mathbf x_{n} - \mathbf x_{n-1} \right )^T 
\left [\nabla F (\mathbf x_{n}) - \nabla F (\mathbf x_{n-1}) \right ] \right |}
{\left \|\nabla F(\mathbf{x}_{n}) - \nabla F(\mathbf{x}_{n-1}) \right \|^2}$$
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;renders as&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;$$\gamma_{n} = \frac{ \left | \left (\mathbf x_{n} - \mathbf x_{n-1} \right )^T \left [\nabla F (\mathbf x_{n}) - \nabla F (\mathbf x_{n-1}) \right ] \right |}{\left |\nabla F(\mathbf{x}&lt;em&gt;{n}) - \nabla F(\mathbf{x}&lt;/em&gt;{n-1}) \right |^2}$$&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Example &lt;strong&gt;inline math&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;code&gt;$\nabla F(\mathbf{x}_{n})$&lt;/code&gt; renders as $\nabla F(\mathbf{x}_{n})$.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Example &lt;strong&gt;multi-line math&lt;/strong&gt; using the &lt;code&gt;\\\\&lt;/code&gt; math linebreak:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code class=&#34;language-tex&#34;&gt;$$f(k;p_0^*) = \begin{cases} p_0^* &amp;amp; \text{if }k=1, \\\\
1-p_0^* &amp;amp; \text {if }k=0.\end{cases}$$
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;renders as&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;$$f(k;p_0^&lt;em&gt;) = \begin{cases} p_0^&lt;/em&gt; &amp;amp; \text{if }k=1, \\
1-p_0^* &amp;amp; \text {if }k=0.\end{cases}$$&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&#34;diagrams&#34;&gt;Diagrams&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Academic supports a Markdown extension for diagrams. You can enable this feature by toggling the &lt;code&gt;diagram&lt;/code&gt; option in your &lt;code&gt;config/_default/params.toml&lt;/code&gt; file or by adding &lt;code&gt;diagram: true&lt;/code&gt; to your page front matter.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;An example &lt;strong&gt;flowchart&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;```mermaid
graph TD
A[Hard] --&amp;gt;|Text| B(Round)
B --&amp;gt; C{Decision}
C --&amp;gt;|One| D[Result 1]

&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;h3 id=&#34;todo-lists&#34;&gt;Todo lists&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can even write your todo lists in Academic too:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code class=&#34;language-markdown&#34;&gt;- [x] Write math example
- [x] Write diagram example
- [ ] Do something else
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;renders as&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;input checked=&#34;&#34; disabled=&#34;&#34; type=&#34;checkbox&#34;&gt; Write math example&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;input checked=&#34;&#34; disabled=&#34;&#34; type=&#34;checkbox&#34;&gt; Write diagram example&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;input disabled=&#34;&#34; type=&#34;checkbox&#34;&gt; Do something else&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&#34;tables&#34;&gt;Tables&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Represent your data in tables:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code class=&#34;language-markdown&#34;&gt;| First Header  | Second Header |
| ------------- | ------------- |
| Content Cell  | Content Cell  |
| Content Cell  | Content Cell  |
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;renders as&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;table&gt;
	&lt;thead&gt;
			&lt;tr&gt;
					&lt;th&gt;First Header&lt;/th&gt;
					&lt;th&gt;Second Header&lt;/th&gt;

	&lt;/thead&gt;
	&lt;tbody&gt;

					&lt;td&gt;Content Cell&lt;/td&gt;
					&lt;td&gt;Content Cell&lt;/td&gt;
			&lt;/tr&gt;
	&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&#34;asides&#34;&gt;Asides&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Academic supports a 
&lt;a href=&#34;https://sourcethemes.com/academic/docs/writing-markdown-latex/#alerts&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener&#34;&gt;shortcode for asides&lt;/a&gt;, also referred to as &lt;em&gt;notices&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;hints&lt;/em&gt;, or &lt;em&gt;alerts&lt;/em&gt;. By wrapping a paragraph in &lt;code&gt;{{% alert note %}} ... {{% /alert %}}&lt;/code&gt;, it will render as an aside.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code class=&#34;language-markdown&#34;&gt;{{% alert note %}}
A Markdown aside is useful for displaying notices, hints, or definitions to your readers.
{{% /alert %}}
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;renders as&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&#34;alert alert-note&#34;&gt;
  &lt;div&gt;
    A Markdown aside is useful for displaying notices, hints, or definitions to your readers.
  &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&#34;spoilers&#34;&gt;Spoilers&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Add a spoiler to a page to reveal text, such as an answer to a question, after a button is clicked.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code class=&#34;language-markdown&#34;&gt;{{&amp;lt; spoiler text=&amp;quot;Click to view the spoiler&amp;quot; &amp;gt;}}
You found me!
{{&amp;lt; /spoiler &amp;gt;}}
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;renders as&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&#34;spoiler &#34; &gt;
  &lt;p&gt;
    &lt;a class=&#34;btn btn-primary&#34; data-toggle=&#34;collapse&#34; href=&#34;#spoiler-1&#34; role=&#34;button&#34; aria-expanded=&#34;false&#34; aria-controls=&#34;spoiler-1&#34;&gt;
      Click to view the spoiler
    &lt;/a&gt;
  &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;div class=&#34;collapse card &#34; id=&#34;spoiler-1&#34;&gt;
    &lt;div class=&#34;card-body&#34;&gt;
      You found me!
    &lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&#34;icons&#34;&gt;Icons&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Academic enables you to use a wide range of 
&lt;a href=&#34;https://sourcethemes.com/academic/docs/page-builder/#icons&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener&#34;&gt;icons from &lt;em&gt;Font Awesome&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Academicons&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt; in addition to 
&lt;a href=&#34;https://sourcethemes.com/academic/docs/writing-markdown-latex/#emojis&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener&#34;&gt;emojis&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here are some examples using the &lt;code&gt;icon&lt;/code&gt; shortcode to render icons:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code class=&#34;language-markdown&#34;&gt;{{&amp;lt; icon name=&amp;quot;terminal&amp;quot; pack=&amp;quot;fas&amp;quot; &amp;gt;}} Terminal  
{{&amp;lt; icon name=&amp;quot;python&amp;quot; pack=&amp;quot;fab&amp;quot; &amp;gt;}} Python  
{{&amp;lt; icon name=&amp;quot;r-project&amp;quot; pack=&amp;quot;fab&amp;quot; &amp;gt;}} R
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;renders as&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
  &lt;i class=&#34;fas fa-terminal  pr-1 fa-fw&#34;&gt;&lt;/i&gt; Terminal&lt;br&gt;

  &lt;i class=&#34;fab fa-python  pr-1 fa-fw&#34;&gt;&lt;/i&gt; Python&lt;br&gt;

  &lt;i class=&#34;fab fa-r-project  pr-1 fa-fw&#34;&gt;&lt;/i&gt; R&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Display Jupyter Notebooks with Academic</title>
      <link>http://delaram.lmu.build/post/jupyter/</link>
      <pubDate>Tue, 05 Feb 2019 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate>
      <guid>http://delaram.lmu.build/post/jupyter/</guid>
      <description>&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code class=&#34;language-python&#34;&gt;from IPython.core.display import Image
Image(&#39;https://www.python.org/static/community_logos/python-logo-master-v3-TM-flattened.png&#39;)
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;http://delaram.lmu.build/post/jupyter/index_1_0.png&#34; alt=&#34;png&#34;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code class=&#34;language-python&#34;&gt;print(&amp;quot;Welcome to Academic!&amp;quot;)
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;Welcome to Academic!
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&#34;install-python-and-jupyterlab&#34;&gt;Install Python and JupyterLab&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.anaconda.com/distribution/#download-section&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener&#34;&gt;Install Anaconda&lt;/a&gt; which includes Python 3 and JupyterLab.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Alternatively, install JupyterLab with &lt;code&gt;pip3 install jupyterlab&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&#34;create-or-upload-a-jupyter-notebook&#34;&gt;Create or upload a Jupyter notebook&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Run the following commands in your Terminal, substituting &lt;code&gt;&amp;lt;MY-WEBSITE-FOLDER&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;&amp;lt;SHORT-POST-TITLE&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt; with the file path to your Academic website folder and a short title for your blog post (use hyphens instead of spaces), respectively:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code class=&#34;language-bash&#34;&gt;mkdir -p &amp;lt;MY-WEBSITE-FOLDER&amp;gt;/content/post/&amp;lt;SHORT-POST-TITLE&amp;gt;/
cd &amp;lt;MY-WEBSITE-FOLDER&amp;gt;/content/post/&amp;lt;SHORT-POST-TITLE&amp;gt;/
jupyter lab index.ipynb
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;code&gt;jupyter&lt;/code&gt; command above will launch the JupyterLab editor, allowing us to add Academic metadata and write the content.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&#34;edit-your-post-metadata&#34;&gt;Edit your post metadata&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The first cell of your Jupter notebook will contain your post metadata (
&lt;a href=&#34;https://sourcethemes.com/academic/docs/front-matter/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener&#34;&gt;front matter&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In Jupter, choose &lt;em&gt;Markdown&lt;/em&gt; as the type of the first cell and wrap your Academic metadata in three dashes, indicating that it is YAML front matter:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;---
title: My post&#39;s title
date: 2019-09-01

# Put any other Academic metadata here...
---
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Edit the metadata of your post, using the 
&lt;a href=&#34;https://sourcethemes.com/academic/docs/managing-content&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener&#34;&gt;documentation&lt;/a&gt; as a guide to the available options.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To set a 
&lt;a href=&#34;https://sourcethemes.com/academic/docs/managing-content/#featured-image&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener&#34;&gt;featured image&lt;/a&gt;, place an image named &lt;code&gt;featured&lt;/code&gt; into your post&amp;rsquo;s folder.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For other tips, such as using math, see the guide on 
&lt;a href=&#34;https://sourcethemes.com/academic/docs/writing-markdown-latex/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener&#34;&gt;writing content with Academic&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&#34;convert-notebook-to-markdown&#34;&gt;Convert notebook to Markdown&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code class=&#34;language-bash&#34;&gt;jupyter nbconvert index.ipynb --to markdown --NbConvertApp.output_files_dir=.
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&#34;example&#34;&gt;Example&lt;/h2&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Create a free website with Academic using Markdown, Jupyter, or RStudio. Choose a beautiful color theme and build anything with the Page Builder - over 40 &lt;em&gt;widgets&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;themes&lt;/em&gt;, and &lt;em&gt;language packs&lt;/em&gt; included!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;h2 id=&#34;course-description&#34;&gt;Course Description&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This course presents a variety of topics in computational thinking, problem-solving, small-scale programming, and applications. This includes basic programming constructs such as data, variables, functions, conditionals, loops, lists, files, sets, and dictionaries. It also includes, especially in the latter part of the semester, object-oriented programming and problem-solving. Previous programming experience is neither required nor expected. Students are expected to spend, on average, six to eight hours per week outside of lectures and labs studying course concepts, practicing programming, and working on the programming projects. 
The course focuses on Python, an interpreted, high-level, and general-purpose programming language. Many class assignments and programming assignments will be assigned throughout the semester. Students will work on the assignments and if needed, class assignments outside of the normal class periods. Course grades will be based on tests, programming assignments, quizzes/in-class work, and attendance.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2 id=&#34;-assignments-and-grading&#34;&gt;📝 Assignments and Grading&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This course is pass/fail based on (1) attendance and participation and (2) completion of a presentation on a famous computer scientist on the last day of class.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition, students will be (3) responsible for attending a number of department and college events as a part of your orientation to all things LMU and LMU CS. These events include student organization meetings, college events, and socials. These events will announced on Slack well ahead of time. Also, if you know of an LMU-affiliated meeting taking place, please add the name, date, time and an RSVP to the Slack Channel. You will be rewarded with much respect and appreciation from the teaching staff and your fellow students for your sharing!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&#34;-communication&#34;&gt;💬 Communication &lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please check your LMU email at least once a day. All emails to the instructor must come from your LMU email address and must include “CMSI 1900&amp;quot; in the subject line. Please allow 1 business day for the instructor to respond to your email.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&#34;-a-note-on-belonging&#34;&gt;🦁 A note on belonging&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The field of Computer Science is plagued with stereotypes. If you hear a voice in your head saying, &amp;ldquo;Ugh, if I&amp;rsquo;m wrong or if I&amp;rsquo;m not impressive enough, it will reflect badly on [groups I identify with, especially, but not limited to, race, gender, English as a second language, etc.]!&amp;rsquo;&amp;rsquo; then you might be experiencing a Stereotype Threat. Just know, it&amp;rsquo;s not just you&amp;mdash;many of us have experienced this too. Everyone can do well in this course with a willingness to learn, grow, incorporate feedback, and enjoy.&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;h2 id=&#34;course-description&#34;&gt;Course Description&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This course presents a survey of the fundamental mathematical tools used in computer science: sets, relations, and functions; propositional and predicate logic; proof writing strategies such as direct, contradiction and induction; number theory, counting; and graph theory with applications in computer science&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Students will become familiar with a broad range of mathematical objects like sets, functions, relations, graphs, that are omnipresent in computer science. Perhaps more importantly, they will reach a certain level of mathematical maturity - being able to understand formal statements and their proofs; coming up with rigorous proofs themselves; and coming up with interesting results. This course attempts to be rigorous without being overly formal. This means, for every concept we introduce we will show at least one interesting and non-trivial example and give a full proof. However, we will do so without too much formal notation, employing examples and figures whenever possible. The main topics of this course are&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fundamental concepts of mathematics: Definitions, proofs, sets, functions, relations.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Discrete structures: graphs, modular arithmetic, counting.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The course will focus on a combination of lectures, class discussions and activities. Your course grade will be on written tests, class participation/quizzes and homework assignments.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&#34;learning-outcomes&#34;&gt;Learning Outcomes&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At the end of this course You will be able to:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;code&gt;Construct&lt;/code&gt; basic mathematical arguments using propositional logic, including structures such as quantified statements, normal form constructions, and Boolean algebra constructions.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;code&gt;Carry out&lt;/code&gt; set theoretic operations to describe and compare unordered collections.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;code&gt;Be able to&lt;/code&gt; select and use an appropriate proof strategy for a potential or known theorem.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;code&gt;Carry out&lt;/code&gt; operations on different integer representations, and construct valid arguments for statements related to modular arithmetic.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;code&gt;Construct&lt;/code&gt; valid arguments for statements related to counting and combinatorics&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;code&gt;Understand&lt;/code&gt; the principles of graphs and graph theory and apply them to solve problems&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Imagine a world where computers are invisible yet everywhere—seamlessly blending into the environment and transforming the way we live, work, and interact. This is the essence of ubiquitous computing, a paradigm that envisions technology so integrated into our surroundings that it “disappears” into the fabric of daily life.
Students will learn about the technical foundations of sensing, computing, and system integration, which enable smooth and seamless interactions in a continuous manner. Using these foundations, students will work on practical projects addressing cutting-edge real-world problems, developing innovative solutions through mobile and ubiquitous computing. Along the way, we’ll also explore the history of ubiquitous computing and its evolution, engaging in collaborative research to understand the central challenges and questions driving contemporary theory and practice in this field.

&lt;p&gt;Informatics, or &amp;ldquo;data science,&amp;rdquo; are rapidly becoming essential skills for scientists across fields; in addition to field-specific specializations, researchers require knowledge of and experience with quantitative analytical techniques for extracting knowledge from raw data. This course aims to provide an introduction to concepts in scientific programming and data science using the Python language. Students are given hands-on opportunities to learn techniques applicable to quantitative analyses across a broad range of fields. These core techniques involve formulating solutions in terms of their inputs and outputs (functional programming), repeated operations (loops), branching operations (conditionals), different methods of organizing data (data structures), how to implement an optimal problem-solving strategy (algorithm design), and methods for visualizing and interpreting results. Course evaluations will be on written tests, class participation and programming assignments.&lt;/p&gt;
