Artificial Intelligence Toward More Human Robots: UGR Researchers at School (Event)

This Monday we will enjoy the presence of four young researchers in the field of Computer Science who currently carry out their work at the University of Granada. They will talk about their duties, the projects they participate, their ultimate goals, the challenges they face on a daily basis, and what it is that they like or dislike about their job among other things.

After the talks, it will be time for an open debate where you are encouraged to actively participate by asking your questions to our guest speakers. Are you wondering how to become a computer engineer? Do you still think that Computer Science is all about fixing computers? Do you know what it is like a day in the life of a researcher? You will find out the answers to these and many other questions from actual experts in the field.

More detailed information can be found in the leaflet specifically designed for the activity under this lines.

We all hope you find the event both interesting and inspiring :)

Cathetus (plural: catheti) is a side of a right-angled triangle adjacent to the right angle. Likewise, leg is a side of a right triangle that is not the hypotenuse. A side of an isosceles triangle that is not the base is also called leg. In the case of right triangles, cathetus and leg are synonyms.

Hypotenuse (alternate spelling: hypothenuse) is the side of a right-angled triangle that is opposite the right angle.

Graphing Linear Functions

Math Is Fun is a website that offers a myriad of resources to learn math in an enjoyable manner.

In this section you can explore the effect of changing the slope and/or the y-intercept on the graph of a straight line.

Finding the equation of a straight line from 2 points is also possible here -although you will have to scroll down a bit further. Just move the dots on the graph and see how the line equation changes in real time.

My suggestion is for you to only use these tools to check the results of your own calculations. Don't fool yourself by having it do your homework for you!
