What that involves is basically not trying to write algorithms in a programming language: If you really want to do things right, you need to write your algorithm in the terms of mathematics. “The ...

A teenage programmer explores the concept of writing algorithms by creating step-by-step instructions to teach her computer a dance routine. Suitable for teaching at KS3, KS4 and National 4 and 5.

Author Stephen Marche decided to write science fiction with an unlikely co-author: an algorithm. The finished product complete with footnotes explains on how the algorithm helped craft the story.

Had Narrative Science—a company that trains computers to write news stories—created this piece, it probably would not mention that the company's Chicago headquarters lie only a long baseball ...

Crunch numbers to the nth degree — and see what happens. When you study computer science and mathematics, you’ll use algorithms and computational theory to create mathematical models or define ...

But just a couple of weeks ago, I explained to one of my computer science graduate students how to solve tic-tac-toe using the so-called “Minimax algorithm,” and it took us about an hour to ...

Combining these two approaches resulted in a hybrid algorithm that was "absurdly fast," Daniel A. Spielman, a professor of applied mathematics and computer science at Yale University who ...

Even computer algorithms can be biased. Scientists have different ideas of how to prevent that Traditional computer algorithms tend to show bias in favor of men when they use entrance exam scores ...

Algorithms are one of the four cornerstones of Computer Science. An algorithm is a plan, a set of step-by-step instructions to solve a problem. If you can tie shoelaces, make a cup of tea, get ...
