Grade school math students are likely ... helpful — in the barnyard example, where the easiest attribute to solve for is horns. Why? Because chickens don’t have horns, which zeroes out the chicken ...

Scientists have trained a computer algorithm to complete a nearly century-old math problem in a mere half ... is able to systematically process all examples to test them for validity.

University of New South Wales Honorary Professor Norman Wildberger has unveiled a potentially game-changing mathematical ...

If there are multiple solutions, the algorithms will find them all. This is a small example ... algebra to tackle problems in artificial intelligence, robotics, cryptography, quantum computing and so ...

Solving one of the oldest algebra problems isn't a bad claim to fame, and it's a claim Norman Wildberger can now make: The ...

Still, calculation time grows at least as fast as N does: if N gets 1,000 times larger, the problem will take at least 1,000 times longer to solve ... for example, that the algorithm could ...

The second email came from a teacher in another state: I am teaching the traditional algorithm ... actual math. For example, there's nothing wrong with the first point: "Make sense of problem ...

Say you were to discover an efficient algorithm ... a quirk of this example but also a feature of computation itself. A web of reductions unites all NP-complete problems. Solve any one of them ...
