Then it’s kind of a mystery to try to figure out why and how they’re related.” The Riemann hypothesis has proved to be a font ...

In a conversation with his friends in Bostan, Alex realized that dried fruit is going to be expensive. So he took his basket and went to the grocery store. His son came to help him to buy the basket ...

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 ...

Abstract: We present a simple performance bound for the greedy scheme in string optimization problems. Our approach generalizes the family of greedy curvature bounds established by Conforti and ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle ...

Children as young as 4 years old are capable of finding efficient solutions to complex problems, such as independently inventing sorting algorithms developed by computer scientists. The scientists ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. For computer scientists, solving problems is a bit like mountaineering. First they must choose a problem to solve—akin to identifying a ...

Abstract: The Steiner Forest Problem is a fundamental combinatorial optimization problems in operations research and computer science. Given an undirected graph with non-negative weights for edges and ...

The famously chaotic three-body problem, which describes how three masses gravitationally interact, has puzzled physicists for centuries. Now, new research suggests it's not quite as chaotic as ...
