ICPC

ICPC is the world's oldest and most prestigious algorithmic programming competition. During ICPC competitions, teams of three university students compete to solve as many challenging programming problems as they can within 5 hours. The tournament is separated into multiple stages; for US teams, it consists of a Regionals competition and the World Finals. The top teams in each region advance to the World Finals, which is held in a different country each year.

SIG-ICPC is for anyone who enjoys competitive programming or challenging algorithmic problems, but is particularly targeted towards those who want to do well in ICPC competitions. We meet every week to explain how to solve problems that appear in ICPC and other programming competitions and to practice solving challenging problems.

You do not need to be a computer science student to participate in our practices or the ICPC competitions -- we welcome everyone who has an interest in learning algorithmic programming!

In addition to helping in programming competitions, algorithmic problem-solving skills are incredibly helpful for technical interviews. Doing well in ICPC is also a great resume booster for getting a job at a top company.

In the past 12 years, our school has advanced to World Finals 11 times. Help us continue this legacy!
