Are you currently taking INF8770? What algorithm are you struggling with right now? Let me know in the comments below!

Python (with Numpy/Scipy) is great for prototyping. C++ or Java is better if the professor benchmarks for speed. If you use Python, learn PuLP or OR-Tools immediately. Inf8770

Build a simple Plotly or Matplotlib dashboard. When the TA sees your algorithm finding a route in real-time on a map of Montreal, you guarantee a high grade. Presentation is half the battle. Is INF8770 worth the pain? Yes. Absolutely. Are you currently taking INF8770

You will spend hours tweaking the temperature decay rate in Simulated Annealing. Set a time limit. A mediocre algorithm with a perfect literature review often scores higher than a perfect algorithm with no documentation. Python (with Numpy/Scipy) is great for prototyping
