When heading somewhere new, most of us leave it to computer algorithms to help us find the best route, whether by using a car's GPS, or public transport and map apps on their phone.

Computer algorithms can involve complicated math, but the concept of an algorithm is simple. Hill Street Studios/DigitalVision via Getty Images. What is ...

In 1994, MIT professor of applied mathematics Peter Shor developed a groundbreaking quantum computing algorithm capable of factoring numbers (that is, finding the prime numbers for any integer N ...

Computers also tend to bypass the theory-building process when proving theorems, said Constantin Teleman, a professor at the University of California at Berkeley who does not use computers in his work ...

Cryptographic algorithms are what keep us safe online, protecting our privacy and securing the transfer of information. But many experts fear that quantum computers could one day break these ...

In 1994, Peter Shor realized that a quantum computer could be much more efficient at factoring large numbers than a conventional computer. Shor’s factoring algorithm begins by using mathematics to ...

To prove it, Tovuti LMS predicted what the 10 fastest-growing computer and mathematics jobs will be for the next decade, using employment projections from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

They also ran a deep learning algorithm that practiced playing Atari games, including Pac-Man. “That’s never been done” using any sort of alternative computer processing technology, Harris says.
