Researchers have found a new approach to finding shortest paths, but it's complex Systems Approach Last year a couple of ...

Computer scientists have written a network flow algorithm that computes almost as fast as is mathematically possible. This algorithm computes the maximum traffic flow with minimum transport costs for ...

Artificial intelligence learned how to generate text and art better than ever before, while computer scientists developed algorithms that solved long-standing problems. In 2023, artificial ...

One July afternoon in 2024, Ryan Williams set out to prove himself wrong. Two months had passed since he’d hit upon a startling discovery about the relationship between time and memory in computing.

When the Clay Mathematics Institute put individual $1-million prize bounties on seven unsolved mathematical problems, they may have undervalued one entry—by a lot. If mathematicians were to resolve, ...

Estimating the number of triangles in a graph is a fundamental problem and has found applications in many fields. This ...

Lucas Downey is the co-founder of MoneyFlows, and an Investopedia Academy instructor. Somer G. Anderson is CPA, doctor of accounting, and an accounting and finance professor who has been working in ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. All of modern mathematics is built on the foundation of set theory, the study of how to organize abstract collections of objects. But in ...

People have performed many mathematical proofs to show that a quantum computer will vastly outperform traditional computers on a number of algorithms. But the quantum ...

This is an introductory graduate level course on Algorithms that will give broad exposure to recent advances in algorithms, yet cover the fundamental techniques needed to understand the recent ...
