DDL: NP-completeness
Dayton Arcade, 35 W 4th St, Dayton, OH, US# March 2026: NP-completeness; special speaker!
For March, we have a special speaker: Rodrigo Girão Serrão, travelling all the way to Dayton (through the magic of the internet, that is)
Rodrigo will take us through a beginner-friendly discussion of NP-completeness; one of those terms that computer science types use to terrify the rest of us. We can all benefit from getting past the jargon and learning how to think about these problems.
Rodrigo is creator of mathspp.com. He’s an experienced speaker and tutorial instructor, author of several Python books, and producer of daily Python drops tips.DDL is dedicated to discussion of technology and techniques related to dynamic programming languages: Python, Perl, Ruby, PHP, JavaScript, and sometimes something more exotic! These languages are fun and easy to get started with, yet powerful enough for all manner of professional use, and our members span the full range of experience with them.
We always leave time for general conversation and questions. Come try one of the most interactive groups around!
The Dayton Dynamic Languages User Group meets the 2nd Wednesday of each month from 7 to 9 PM, online and at Dayton's Innovation Hub (part of the renovated Arcade conmples). Use the General voice channel at discord.gg/9SgTh3T
We are a Special Interest Group (SIG) of the Dayton Microcomputer Association. http://d8ndl.org
