A computer scientist has achieved a breakthrough in a nearly 25-year-old problem involving how computers calculate distances ...

In algorithms, as in life, negativity can be a drag. Consider the problem of finding the shortest path between two points on a graph — a network of nodes connected by links, or edges. Often, these ...

People have performed many mathematical proofs to show that a quantum computer will vastly outperform traditional computers on a number of algorithms. But the quantum ...

See how AI is changing algorithm discovery, theorem proving, and complexity theory, with real research examples and a clear look at its limitations.

The library sorting problem is used across computer science for organizing far more than just books. A new solution is less than a page-width away from the theoretical ideal. Click to tell Google to ...

Bio: Alfred V. Aho is the Lawrence Gussman Professor Emeritus of Computer Science at Columbia University. He has served as Vice President of the Computing Sciences Research Center at Bell Labs, the ...

Algorithms have taken on an almost mythical significance in the modern world. They determine what you see on social media and when browsing online, help form people’s belief systems, and impact the ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology has selected four candidates to form the basis of future data-protection technologies to resist attack by quantum computers, the US science agency ...

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 ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Imagine a town with two widget merchants. Customers prefer cheaper widgets, so the merchants must compete to set the lowest price.

A subplan is an optional enhancement to the Professional MS in Computer Science (MSCPS) degree program allowing students to demonstrate a high level of expertise in a sub-field of Computer Science.
