A San Francisco company paid nearly $1 million for the solution to an unsolved code in Kryptos, a sculpture on the C.I.A.

Kharizmi helped solidify the concept of algorithms in mathematics and popularized algebra and the use of the zero.

Abstract: This study proposes a capacitated vehicle routing problem (CVRP) approach to optimise Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) and pesticides spraying. The VRP consists of finding the route which ...

Jim Parsons is on absolute top form here as Sheldon in a wonderful episode. So many sharp lines and interactions, this was a joy. When it was good this series was very good indeed. Well worth a watch.

Three mathematicians have laid out proof that solves a long-standing problem in mathematics. Even the mathematician—an Abel prize winner—that first posed the problem didn't believe it would ever be ...

This article is part of a package on the future of quantum computing. Read about the quest to develop these machines here and see an illustrated field guide to qubits here. The 21st-century fervor ...

A new computational study suggests the Great Pyramid of Giza was built using a sophisticated "Integrated Edge-Ramp" (IER) system, potentially solving a 4,500-year-old architectural enigma. This model ...

The well-optimized DifferentialEquations solvers benchmark as some of the fastest implementations of classic algorithms. It also includes algorithms from recent research which routinely outperform the ...

Explore how algorithms transform trading with strategies like arbitrage and HFT, and their impact on global markets, ...

Quantum computers—devices that process information using quantum mechanical effects—have long been expected to outperform classical systems on certain tasks. Over the past few decades, researchers ...

Ant colony optimization (ACO) is a class of heuristic algorithms proposed to solve optimization problems. The idea was inspired by the behavior of real ants, related to their ability to find the ...
