Old mainframe computers are interesting, especially to those of us who weren’t around to see them in action. We sit with old-timers and listen to their stories of the good ol’ days. They tell us about ...

Numerical and Computational Mathematics is a discipline dedicated to the development and analysis of algorithms that provide approximate solutions to mathematical problems too complex for exact ...

Standard sequential time marching schemes limit parallelism to the spatial domain. With computer architectures growing in size and clock speeds remaining constant, speed-up must come from greater ...

The natives of a remote Polynesian Island invented a binary number system, similar to the one used by computers to calculate, centuries before Western mathematicians did, new research suggests. The ...
