One of the most classic algorithmic problems deals with calculating the shortest path between two points. A more complicated variant of the problem is when the route traverses a changing network - ...

In a recent work [6], Borwein and Borwein derived a class of algorithms based on the theory of elliptic integrals that yield very rapidly convergent approximations to elementary constants. The author ...

The University of Wisconsin Department of Mathematics and UW-iSchool partnered with the University Lectures Committee to host mathematician Cathy O’Neil Tuesday evening at the Fluno Center. O’Neil is ...

Computers fail at even simple math more often than many of us realize and that flaw is rooted in the architecture of the machines themselves. Using machine learning, Google might have discovered a way ...

O'Neil's book is a primer on the ethical risks of Big Data and an algorithmically dependent world. It describes algorithms behaving badly, and advocates for society to do better You can save this ...
