Graphs are everywhere. In discrete mathematics, they are structures that show the connections between points, much like a public transportation network. Mathematicians have long sought to develop ...

“You can still get things done and be effective when multitasking, but it usually comes at the cost of tasks taking more time or having more errors.” Studies back that up — and show exactly ...

We believe we’re effective at multitasking when in reality we’re good at what researchers call “task-switching”. Earl Miller, a professor of neuroscience at MIT, says we simply can’t ...

If multitasking is a myth, it might come as a surprise that some people are good at it. It turns out that people who multitask -- or rapid-fire-single-task -- less are better at firing the next ...

Refining with colors. Mathematicians have developed various strategies to compare graphs. Since the 1970s, algorithms have been able to test graph isomorphism, but in exponential time.

“Multitasking is less effective than solo-tasking,” licensed psychologist Jenna Brownfield tells Yahoo Life. “You can still get things done and be effective when multitasking, but it usually comes at ...

The allure of multitasking is hard to ignore. Of course it sounds like a great idea to take that meeting from the car, or to have Real Housewives on “in the background” while you work, or to ...
