Marc Andreessen wrote in 2011 that "software is eating the world."If this is true, then algorithms are doing much of the digesting. Big data of 21st century exabyte scale is useless without ...

The researchers call the phenomenon "algorithm aversion," where "algorithm" is intended broadly, to encompass — as they write — "any evidence-based forecasting formula or rule." If algorithm ...

D. Sc., Professor Leonid Sokolinsky has derived a formula to evaluate the effectiveness of parallel algorithms. For four years, the scientist worked at the Supercomputer Simulation Laboratory at South ...

This course covers basic algorithm design techniques such as divide and conquer, dynamic programming, and greedy algorithms. It concludes with a brief introduction to intractability (NP ...
