Ready to analyze Google's search algorithms and learn all the secrets of ranking? Here's what you will need to do it correctly. That (rough) question helped to determine the path of my career 10+ ...

Computers fail at even simple math more often than many of us realize and that flaw is rooted in the architecture of the machines themselves. Using machine learning, Google might have discovered a way ...

Scientists say using math to sort through DNA could help investigators put stubborn cold cases to rest. The approach combines the relatively new field of forensic genetic genealogy—solving crime by ...

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 - ...

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 ...

The Mathematics GRE consists of about 70 questions. 50% of the exam is calculus and its applications. 25% consists of elementary algebra, linear algebra, abstract algebra and number theory. The ...
