A University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa student-led team has developed a new algorithm to help scientists determine direction in ...

The University of Wisconsin Department of Mathematics and UW-iSchool partnered with the University Lectures Committee to host mathematician Cathy O’Neil Tuesday evening at the Fluno Center. O’Neil is ...

One of the most classic algorithmic problems deals with calculating the shortest path between two points. A more complicated variant of the problem is when the route traverses a changing network - ...

The history of mathematics is in some ways a study of the human mind and how it has understood the world. That’s because mathematical thought is based on concepts such as number, form, and change, ...

The PSLQ procedure can be regarded as a jazzed-up version of an integer-relation algorithm dating back more than 2,000 years to the Greek geometer Euclid of Alexandria (365–300 B.C.). The Euclidean ...

People tend to obsess over making computer software faster. You can, of course, just crank up the clock speed and add more processors, but often the most powerful way to make something faster is to ...

Late last year, the Justice Department joined the growing list of agencies to discover that algorithms don’t heed good intentions. An algorithm known as PATTERN placed tens of thousands of federal ...
