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 ...

Last March 16, three seminars discussing the same mathematical theorem were delivered almost simultaneously at three different research centers. Having obtained his PhD less than a week prior at the ...

Researchers at HSE University are combining mathematics and computer science to create new algorithms that help mitigate uncertainty in the digital world We live in the information age, where data are ...

When it comes to teaching math, a debate has persisted for decades: How, and to what degree, should algorithms be a focus of learning math? The step-by-step procedures are among the most debated ...

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 - ...

Many communication and graphics applications are computation-intensive, yet no one has paid much attention to optimizing the hardware that implements mathematical functions. Traditional implementation ...

Cathy O’Neil believes there is a dark side to numbers. A mathematician by training, she earned her doctorate at Harvard and went on to become a tenure-track professor at Barnard College. In 2007, ...
