Albert Einstein encountered a curious math puzzle involving an old car on a hill. The problem, seemingly simple, highlighted ...

Everyone loves free money, but sometimes where that money is coming from needs to be considered before accepting it. Take Garregg, for example, a Canadian man who called in to The Ramsey Show seeking ...

Abstract: Dynamic constrained multiobjective optimization problems (DCMOPs) involve complex changes in objective functions and constraints over time. These changes challenge most existing algorithms ...

What if the next new mathematical discovery didn’t come from a human mind, but from an AI? Imagine a machine not just crunching numbers but proposing original solutions to problems that have baffled ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

KARLSRUHE, Germany and COLLEGE PARK, Md.– Kipu Quantum and IonQ (NYSE: IONQ) announced what they said is a record achievement: the successful solution of “the most complex known protein folding ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. For computer scientists, solving problems is a bit like mountaineering. First they must choose a problem to solve—akin to identifying a ...

Ad tech is obsessed with optimization. Every signal, platform, algorithm, clean room, or assistant, is pitched as a way to bring brands closer to consumers. But what if the opposite is happening? What ...

It’s been difficult to find important questions that quantum computers can answer faster than classical machines, but a new algorithm appears to do it for some critical optimization tasks. For ...
