Description

eta is a phenomenally talented polymath, hacker, and computer programmer from the UK.  Today eta joined us to discuss her very fun project reverse engineering UK rail tickets.  This was a fun event with a reasonably big audience and lots of Q&A, and we really enjoyed it!  It was also a good example of the best possible outcome in hacking: you break something, you tell the people who made the thing, and they give you a high-five and fix it.  Thank you so much eta for speaking to us!  To learn more about eta's work, refer to her website here: https://eta.st/

The Boston Computation Club is a small seminar group focused on mathematical computer science, and computational mathematics. Its name is plagiarized from the London Computation Club. Boston Computation Club meetings occur roughly every other week, on weekends, around 5pm EDT (modulo speaker availability). The usual format is a 20m presentation followed by 40m of discussion. Some, but not all, meetings are posted on YouTube and in podcast form.
