Cathy O’Neil believes there is a dark side to numbers. A mathematician by training, she earned her doctorate at Harvard and went on to become a tenure-track professor at Barnard College. In 2007, ...

Among high school students and adults, girls and women are much more likely to use traditional, step-by-step algorithms to solve basic math problems – such as lining up numbers to add, starting with ...

The Numerical Mathematics Consortium, a group including mathematics software vendors and academics, last week issued a proposal for an open industry standard for algorithm development. The group hopes ...

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 - ...

For the delivery portion of the overall streaming equation, CDNs use refined content caching and content replication, optimized network paths—including ingress, egress, and midgress data transport—and ...

When they start college, students face many challenges, but one of the hardest is figuring out how to pay for things. With things like tuition, books, housing, and daily costs to think about, learning ...
