O'Neil's book is a primer on the ethical risks of Big Data and an algorithmically dependent world. It describes algorithms ...

This blog explores how mathematics and algorithms form the hidden engine behind intelligent agent behavior. While agents appear to act smartly, they rely on rigorous mathematical models and ...

OpenAI claims their AI-generated algorithm can solve certain hard computing problems faster. Mathematicians are organizing an ...

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 from the ...

When they start college, students face many challenges, but one of the hardest is figuring out how to pay for things. With things like tuition, books, housing, and daily costs to think about, learning ...

When most people hear the word algorithm, their eyes glaze over. It feels technical, mechanical, even boring. Something hidden inside lines of code that only engineers care about. But that’s a narrow ...

Late last year, the Justice Department joined the growing list of agencies to discover that algorithms don’t heed good intentions. An algorithm known as PATTERN placed tens of thousands of federal ...

For a project I am working on I have a bunch of numerical data related to coordinates on a grid. I would like to draw a map with colored shapes encompassing areas with the same values. I don't have ...

Let's start with a mathematical description of primitives we're going to intersect. For this article I've used just ray (line), plane, sphere, axis-aligned bounding box and triangle ... these should ...

The second series is just plain gibberish ASCII characters, anything from chr(0) through chr(255). I'm trying to find a way to represent both of these streams in a common format, so I can look for ...
