		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m going to write about fellowships before actual applications because some fellowship application deadlines are in late october and early november, which is earlier than other deadlines. The three main fellowships that people in computer science tend to apply to are NSF, Hertz and NDSEG. There are often other fellowships that are more specific to [...]]]></description>

As soon as the semester started I got really caught up in school work and completely forgot that I even owned a blog.

I&#8217;m thinking that this is probably a good thing, because it means I&#8217;ve been too busy to find time to write in the past couple of weeks. So, what exactly have I been up to? Unfortunately, [...]]]></description>

The story goes something like this: say you&#8217;re working as a software developer and your boss gives you this project where you need to come up with a efficient way to do some computation.

Last week I tackled depth first search and found it to be surprisingly challenging and consequently really educational. Today, I decided to try my hand at dynamic programming.
