Marc Andreessen wrote in 2011 that "software is eating the world." If this is true, then algorithms are doing much of the digesting. Big data of 21st century exabyte scale is useless without ...

Grade school math students are likely familiar with teachers admonishing them not to just guess the answer to a problem. But a new proof establishes that, in fact, the right kind of guessing is ...

Quantum algorithms for differential equations harness quantum mechanical principles to accelerate the solution of both ordinary and partial differential systems. By encoding differential operators and ...

Quantum computers can do wondrous things: too bad they do not exist yet. That has not stopped physicists from devising new algorithms for the devices, which can calculate a lot faster than ordinary ...
