Space-E-Mulate - SEDS India National Conference 2009

SINC’09 not only had exhilarating guest lectures and informative workshops but also gripping competitions. SPACE-E-MULATE was one such event. It required participants to flex their gray cells, and prove that mathematics was indeed the language of physics. It gave them a platform to integrate mathematics and software, and hence simulate the common physical and natural phenomenon around us. Participants were free to choose either MATLAB, C or C++ as their programming platform and solve the questions which were based on basic concepts of physics. While four students participated individually, the remaining were in teams of two. 

Winners: 

1st prize :Rohan Sood and Ankit Agrawal (VITU)                                                            
2nd prize: Ankit and Navin (IIIT Hyderabad) 

The event was judged by Prof. V. Ramesh and Prof. Prakash R. There were 4 teams from other universities while there were 17 teams from VIT. We hope this event also encourages similar events that aid in ground based image processing and other systems to get back images from future space missions to other planets and stars.
