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 ...

Researchers have successfully used a quantum algorithm to solve a complex century-old mathematical problem long considered impossible for even the most powerful conventional supercomputers. The ...

There’s a familiar look in every college lecture hall. The glazed-over stare of someone just realizing they’re twelve slides wholly behind and lost. The professor keeps talking. The notes don’t make ...

Color prediction algorithms are widely used in gaming and probability-based applications, generating sequences based on mathematical models or randomness. Understanding their inner workings often ...

Online Forum Ed Discussion (accessible through Canvas) will be used for online discussion of the course material. If you have a personal question for the instructional staff (e.g., if one of your ...

The proposal suggests implementing a shared random algorithm to eliminate Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) at the block level and distribute block construction more equitably across the network. An ...

Abstract: In recent years, we have seen a growing interest in probabilistic methods for designing uncertain complex systems. In this lecture, we provide a broad perspective of this research area and ...

Greedy algorithms are an approach to solving certain kinds of optimization problems. Greedy algorithms are similar to dynamic programming algorithms in that the solutions are both efficient and ...
