In the era of big data and artificial intelligence, a new approach has emerged for solving combinatorial optimization ...

Northwestern Engineering’s Samir Khuller welcomed the presenters and guests of part two of the Undergraduate Research Showcase by discussing the importance of academic curiosity. “Knowledge is not a ...

When the Clay Mathematics Institute put individual $1-million prize bounties on seven unsolved mathematical problems, they may have undervalued one entry—by a lot. If mathematicians were to resolve, ...

Descriptive set theorists study the niche mathematics of infinity. Now, they’ve shown that their problems can be rewritten in the concrete language of algorithms. All of modern mathematics is built on ...

Researchers from MIT and elsewhere have developed a more user-friendly and efficient method to help networking engineers ...

Last year, 18 percent of Stanford University seniors graduated with a degree in computer science, more than double the proportion of just a decade earlier. Over the same period at MIT, that rate went ...

Computer science involves much more than writing code. It blends technical knowledge —like programming, algorithms and data systems — with soft skills, such as communication and problem-solving.

Pose a question to a Magic 8 Ball, and it’ll answer yes, no or something annoyingly indecisive. We think of it as a kid’s toy, but theoretical computer scientists employ a similar tool. They often ...

Students in Drexel’s Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (BSCS) program learn about the theory and practice of effective computing. CS majors tend to be skilled at math and writing code, and like ...
