Sort Algorithms: Imagine being handed a jumbled pile of numbered cards and being asked to arrange them in ascending or descending order. Sort algorithms do precisely that, but in the digital domain.

One computer scientist’s “stunning” proof is the first progress in 50 years on one of the most famous questions in computer ...

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.

Most algorithms employ some sort of quantitative analysis, executing trades when the asset's trading follows a certain pattern. It's useful to give the computer access to some very deep pockets ...

Algorithms go beyond computer programming as they require understanding of the various possibilities available when solving a problem. Also see: The Future of Artificial Intelligence.

This is where the new computer algorithm that I've developed and published in Science Advances comes in. It promises to dramatically reduce the spin-up time of the ocean and other components of ...

Here’s what a quantum algorithm for a real-world problem looks like. By Charlotte Hu. Published May 1, ... [Related: In photos: Journey to the center of a quantum computer] ...

Computer scientists have written a network flow algorithm that computes almost as fast as is mathematically possible. This algorithm computes the maximum traffic flow with minimum transport costs ...
