O'Neil's book is a primer on the ethical risks of Big Data and an algorithmically dependent world. It describes algorithms ...

This blog explores how mathematics and algorithms form the hidden engine behind intelligent agent behavior. While agents appear to act smartly, they rely on rigorous mathematical models and ...

In the so-called MINT subjects—mathematics, computer science, natural sciences and technology—up to 40 percent of students drop out of their studies in the introductory phase. A research team from the ...

OpenAI claims their AI-generated algorithm can solve certain hard computing problems faster. Mathematicians are organizing an ...

When most people hear the word algorithm, their eyes glaze over. It feels technical, mechanical, even boring. Something hidden inside lines of code that only engineers care about. But that’s a narrow ...

In a world run by computers, there is one algorithm that stands above all the rest. It powers search engines, encrypts your data, guides rockets, runs simulations, and makes the modern digital ...

Late last year, the Justice Department joined the growing list of agencies to discover that algorithms don’t heed good intentions. An algorithm known as PATTERN placed tens of thousands of federal ...

When they start college, students face many challenges, but one of the hardest is figuring out how to pay for things. With things like tuition, books, housing, and daily costs to think about, learning ...
