In a new article, mathematicians describe how modern computer technology has vastly expanded our ability to discover new mathematical results. By computing mathematical expressions to very high ...

Many disciplines in the natural sciences, engineering and economics seek accurate and reliable approximations to mathematical problems where exact solutions are not known to exist. Giants such as Ford ...

If you are interested in the real-world applications of numbers, discrete mathematics may be the concentration for you. Because discrete mathematics is the language of computing, it complements the ...

A Rochester Institute of Technology Ph.D. student was part of a team of researchers that settled a 90-year-old math problem called Keller’s conjecture. David Narváez, a computing and information ...

IBM’s supercomputer Watson performed quite a stunt on Jeopardy last week. A match between the two all-time human champs and some 200,000 watts of computing power took the man-machine challenge to a ...

Currently no commercially viable quantum computer exists. While a usable, functional quantum computer may exist in a few months, years, or even a few millenia (or a superposition of these states) we ...

Informally, a dynamic system is any physical system that evolves with time (e.g., a pendulum, a planet orbiting the sun, the weather, etc). From a more mathematically precise perspective, one can ...

67-year-programming language ranks in the top 10 of the Tiobe index of programming language popularity for two months running. Fortran’s return to the top 10 in Tiobe’s monthly index of language ...
