Questions? Check in with your academic advisor for guidance on how Summer Term fits with your academic goals.

FALL TERM

The Enroll App is now updated to include fall 2022 course offerings. Courses taught and managed by the Computer Sciences department often have enrollment restrictions that give students in UW-Madison Computer Sciences programs priority access during initial enrollment periods. Some CS courses add seats gradually during enrollment. Once all seats have been released, a wait list will be added. Specific CS course enrollment information can be found using this link.
Events...
Wednesday: Whitepaper Wednesday - "Flashboys 2.0"
Date: March 9
Time: 6 PM
Location: Grainger Hall Room 3190
Hosted by: Badger Blockchain

This week's Whitepaper Wednesday we will be covering "Flashboys 2.0" the seminal paper on Miner Extractable Value (MEV) and Arbitrage Bots on Ethereum. Did you know that bot operators on Ethereum make over $1 million a week sitting in wait to frontrun transactions on the network (Just like High Frequency trading in Traditional-Finance)? Did you know that even though the transaction you sent out to the network is eventually permanent, the order in which it is submitted can be exploited by miners for profit? What is more, this ability to reorder transactions leads to security vulnerabilities within Ethereum itself! Come to this event to discuss all of this with Badger Blockchain!
Wednesday: Kaggle Competition Meeting
Date: March 9
Time: 6:30 - 7:30 PM
Location: CS Building Room 1240
