Programming forces students to be explicit about their problem solving strategies. Writing code encourages students to break the problem into discrete chunks; which is one of the most powerful problem ...

This paper presents a simple numerical algorithm for the solution of programming problems in which some or all of the variables can take only discrete values. The algorithm requires no special ...

Yet, while coding as we know it is indeed facing disruption, the creative, problem-solving essence of computer programming is likely to remain a largely human endeavor for the foreseeable future.

The feasibility pump is a well-established primal heuristic for mixed integer programming (MIP) that alternates between solving a linear programming (LP) relaxation of the original problem and ...
