From greedy shortcuts to dynamic programming guarantees, algorithm design techniques are the backbone of efficient problem-solving in computer science. Understanding when and how to apply each ...

Algorithms and data structures are the backbone of efficient problem-solving in tech. By learning their principles and design techniques, you can tackle challenges with precision and creativity.

Have you ever thrown around the word algorithm without knowing what it means? When people complain about the Facebook algorithm, the Netflix algorithm, or the Google search algorithm, they don’t ...

Start working toward program admission and requirements right away. Work you complete in the non-credit experience will transfer to the for-credit experience when you ...

When Netflix recommends you watch “Grace and Frankie” after you’ve finished “Love,” an algorithm decided that would be the next logical thing for you to watch. And when Google shows you one search ...

Jose Marichal, PhD, will discuss his new book, You Must Become An Algorithmic Problem (Bristol University Press, 2025). This incisive book explores the unspoken agreement we have with tech companies.

Discrete combinatorial optimization has a central role in many scientific disciplines, however, for hard problems we lack linear time algorithms that would allow us to solve very large instances.

One of the most classic algorithmic problems deals with calculating the shortest path between two points. A more complicated variant of the problem is when the route traverses a changing network - ...
