Code drives Africa’s tech surge, powered by a young, digital-native population and growing investment. From Lagos to Nairobi to Cape Town, teams are launching payment, health, and edtech platforms.

The leading approach to the simplex method, a widely used technique for balancing complex logistical constraints, can’t get ...

As algorithms become more widespread within government institutions, there are two basic challenges. One is to design better ...

ABSTRACT: The lack of semantic parts, increasing the number of Web services in the Web, and syntactic-based search operation are the main problems of current Web service technologies, these factors ...

The assignment problem is formulated and briefly discussed. An efficient algorithm for its solution is presented in ALGOL code. An empirical relation between solution time and the size of the problem ...

Children as young as 4 years old are capable of finding efficient solutions to complex problems, such as independently inventing sorting algorithms developed by computer scientists. The scientists ...

You probably don’t need more time. By Jancee Dunn When I look back on all the major decisions I’ve dithered over, I could scream. It took me a decade to commit to becoming a parent. I wavered for a ...

In a standard paper assignment setting, a set $\mathcal{P}$ of $n^{(p)}$ papers needs to be assigned to a set $\mathcal{R}$ of $n^{(r)}$ reviewers. To ensure each ...

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 ...

Right now, quantum computers are small and error-prone compared to where they’ll likely be in a few years. Even within those limitations, however, there have been regular claims that the hardware can ...
