Scientists say they’ve developed a framework to make computer algorithms “safer” to use without creating bias based on race, gender or other factors. The trick, they say, is to make it possible for ...

The Numerical Mathematics Consortium announced the latest revision to a technical specification, introduced earlier this year, that defines an open mathematics semantics standard for numerical ...

In July, the National Institute of Standards and Technologies selected four cryptography algorithms as national standards for public key security in order to prepare for an era of quantum computers, ...

IIRC, there is no best numerical derivative algorithm. Each of them is unstable for some inputs. Oddly, integration algorithms are usually stable, though often not fast.<P>Symbolic differention is a ...

This summer, battle lines were drawn over a simple math problem: 8 ÷ 2(2 + 2) = ? If you divide 8 by 2 first, you get 16, but if you multiply 2 by (2 + 2) first, you get 1. So, which answer is right?

Robots that need to use their arms to make their way across treacherous terrain just got a speed upgrade with a new path planning approach. The improved algorithm path planning algorithm found ...

Honeybees gathering nectar inspired an algorithm that eased the burden of host servers handling unpredictable traffic by about 25 percent. Nature can inspire some great engineering, but it can also ...

Our brains are constantly learning. That new sandwich deli rocks. That gas station? Better avoid it in the future. Memories like these physically rewire connections in the brain region that supports ...
