There is a general sense that programming is related to math and that people who are successful in math are often successful at programming. For math teachers, a natural question arises: “What is the ...

Last week I wrote about the birthday of the world’s first computer programmer, Ada Lovelace. Before she came up with the world’s first computer program (conceptually, at least), Lovelace was an ...

President Obama earlier this year announced a new initiative, “Computer Science for All,” to empower a generation of American students with the computing skills they need to thrive in a digital ...

Spreadsheets are still useful, but if you do a lot of work with numbers, you'll realize that they have limitations.

Last year, I started writing about my experiences taking courses on machine learning and artificial intelligence. One of the big, unexpected problems I ran into was calculus and linear algebra. I've ...

Want to model the progress of a disease over a month's time? Sure, just write a calculus equation that would model the statistics of the disease's progression for one hour at a time. Got that done?

Mathematical programming with vanishing constraints (MPVC) represents a challenging class of optimisation problems where certain constraints become inactive—or “vanish”—depending on specific ...

In this work, we are interested in nonlinear symmetric cone problems (NSCPs), which contain as special cases nonlinear semidefinite programming, nonlinear secondorder cone programming, and the ...

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, Vol. 79, No. 4 (Nov., 1997), pp. 1352-1362 (11 pages) This paper uses resampling estimation techniques to develop a statistical mathematical programming ...
