Professional astronomers don't make discoveries by looking through an eyepiece like you might with a backyard telescope.

In 1973, the statistician Francis Anscombe devised a fascinating demonstration showing why data should always be plotted before it is analyzed. The demonstration consisted of four data sets that ...

Data structures and algorithms are vital elements in many computing applications. When programmers design and build applications, they need to model the application data. What this data consists ...

let alone handling new sources of data. Algorithms are the key to making your current data useful and making smart, timely decisions based on that data possible. What has been missing thus far is ...

Most medical algorithms were developed using information from people treated in Massachusetts, California, or New York, according to a new study. Those three states dominate patient data — and ...

The student is also exposed to the notion of a faster algorithm and asymptotic complexity through the O, big-Omega and big-Theta notations. In this module, the student will learn about the basics of ...

The danger is that these algorithms, which are trained on data produced by people, may reflect the biases in that data, perpetuating structural racism and negative biases about minority groups.

This course is available with permission to General Course students. Introduction to the fundamental principles of data structures and algorithms and their efficient implementation. Developing ...
