A few years ago I used an algorithm to help me write a science fiction story. Adam Hammond, an English professor, and Julian Brooke, a computer scientist, had created a program called SciFiQ, and ...

Computer scientists are abuzz over a fast new algorithm for solving one of the central problems in the field.

The library sorting problem is used across computer science for organizing far more than just books. A new solution is less than a page-width away from the theoretical ideal.

We generate 2,639 test problems, which involve 99 items and are substantially larger than most of the previously used benchmark problems. Because there are no real-life test problems for combinatorial ...

By the end of high school, writing evaluations should be hunting for subtleties that no standardized test – by definition – will ever be able to uncover.
