Knowing when to hold 'em, and when to fold 'em is one of life's perpetual mysteries. If you have a mathematical inclination, or a bent for probabilities, this book might well catalyze a turning point ...

I have to admit that I am overwhelmed with admiration for the way in which John MacCormick tackled his book Nine Algorithms That Changed the Future: The Ingenious Ideas That Drive Today’s Computers Of ...

One fine summer morning, you show up for a scheduled appointment for your regular checkup at the highly rated local health clinic. You walk in feeling fine. You raise your arm and say, “Doc, it hurts ...

The recent paper studies algorithmic pricing through the lens of game theory, an interdisciplinary field at the border of ...

To equate these processes to algorithms amounts to mistaking “multipart complex systems for simple, singular ones”. While vital to current forms of cognitive automation, algorithms are only one ...

Inspired by a theoretical model of particles moving around on a chessboard, new robot swarm research shows that, as magnetic interactions increase, dispersed 'dumb robots' can abruptly gather in large ...

Graphs are everywhere. In discrete mathematics, they are structures that show the connections between points, much like a ...

Algorithms are all around us, governing everything from the recipes we use to cook dinner to the routes our navigational systems suggest we take to avoid traffic. But what exactly is an algorithm? In ...
