If you’re under the impression that something as simple as sorting numbers is dull, think again. This visualization lets you see and hear fifteen different algorithms sift their way through a ...

In their book 'Algorithms to Live By', British scientist Professor Brian Christian and science writer Tom Griffith said sock-pairers should try using an algorithm known as a radix sort.

The algorithm Christian recommends here is a radix sort. "The basic idea of a radix sort is that you want to create categories apart - so let's say colour. You would begin by just dividing all the ...

In fact, “15 Sorting Algorithms in 6 Minutes” — created by Timo Bingmann, a PhD student at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology — is one of the most weirdly hypnotic viewing experiences ...

In their book Algorithms to Live By, cognitive scientist Professor Brian Christian and science writer Tom Griffith suggested impatient sock-pairers should try using a method known as the radix sort.
