His project lets you play simple algorithms as audio using AVR microcontrollers. Now the code work for this is very simple, but he hardware implementation is where things get interesting.

The Data Science Lab Simple Numerical Optimization Using an Evolutionary Algorithm with C# Dr. James McCaffrey of Microsoft Research says that when quantum computing becomes generally available, ...

Artists have begun searching the space of simple computer programs for algorithms that generate music. Now they want to crowdsource the problem ...

Most elegant: The Perceptron algorithm. Developed back in the 50s by Rosenblatt and colleagues, this extremely simple algorithm can be viewed as the foundation for some of the most successful ...

Even with no one in charge, army ants work collectively to build bridges out of their bodies. New research reveals the simple rules that lead to such complex group behavior.
