In this episode of eSpeaks, Jennifer Margles, Director of Product Management at BMC Software, discusses the transition from traditional job scheduling to the era of the autonomous enterprise. eSpeaks’ ...

Shortest path algorithms sit at the heart of modern graph theory and many of the systems that move people, data, and goods around the world. After nearly seventy years of relying on the same classic ...

EdSource · School screen time is rising. California parents are asking where to draw the line A report about declining math preparation at UC San Diego has been generating hysterical headlines in ...

In a world run by computers, there is one algorithm that stands above all the rest. It powers search engines, encrypts your data, guides rockets, runs simulations, and makes the modern digital ...

Proposed changes to North Carolina's math standards would shake up requirements for upperclassmen in the state’s public high schools and emphasize real-world problem-solving in all grade levels. The ...

Among high school students and adults, girls and women are much more likely to use traditional, step-by-step algorithms to solve basic math problems – such as lining up numbers to add, starting with ...

Descriptive set theorists study the niche mathematics of infinity. Now, they’ve shown that their problems can be rewritten in the concrete language of algorithms. All of modern mathematics is built on ...

When Edsger W. Dijkstra published his algorithm in 1959, computer networks were barely a thing. The algorithm in question found the shortest path between any two nodes on a graph, with a variant ...

The numbers did not compute. Even before Terry Rozier dropped out of the 2023 NBA game in which he's accused of rigging his statistics, computers at an "integrity monitor" firm flagged a flood of bets ...

The “Discrete Mathematics” quest in The Outer Worlds 2 comes with a hefty stack of obstacles, starting with its pickup point. You’ll have to avoid explosives, defeat invisible enemies, and solve a ...
