According to this post on the official V8 Javascript blog, the pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) that V8 Javascript uses in Math.random() is horribly flawed and getting replaced with something … ...

And they don't say the random number generator function in JavaScript -- Math.random() -- is broken. They say it "offers sub-par quality." Specifically, V8 used a pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) ...

Over the years, multiple studies have found that Google Chrome’s V8 JavaScript engine was returning not-so-random numbers when you called the Math.random() function. Today that’s been fixed ...

In 1969, a German mathematician named Volker Strassen discovered the previous-best algorithm for multiplying 4×4 matrices, which reduces the number of steps necessary to perform a matrix calculation.

In the so-called MINT subjects—mathematics, computer science, natural sciences and technology—up to 40 percent of students drop out of their studies in the introductory phase. A research team ...

In the 1990s, he showed that if an algorithm using randomness seems to run efficiently, then another, non-random algorithm must exist that is almost as efficient.
