Scientists have trained a computer algorithm to complete a nearly century-old math problem in a mere half hour. Keller’s conjecture, a tessellation problem about the way certain shapes tile in ...

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

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.

Quantum computers and PQC are both enormously complex. But the common process for cracking RSA public key encryption is ...

To a computer, part of our getting-dressed algorithm would look like “if it is below 50 degrees and it is raining, then pick the rain jacket and a long-sleeved shirt to wear underneath it.” ...

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 ...

Meanwhile, computers have grown millions of times more powerful than when they first appeared on the math scene in the 1970s, and countless new and smarter algorithms, as well as easier-to-use ...

He’s also brought more attention to a handful of problems, giving them distinctive names like the bakery algorithm and the Byzantine Generals Problem. This is no accident. The 81-year-old computer ...

Mathematicians have long sought to develop algorithms that can compare any two graphs. In practice, many ...

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.
