From powering search engines to securing data and optimizing networks, algorithms underpin nearly every aspect of modern technology. Understanding how efficiently they can solve problems — and where ...

Algorithmic graph theory and optimisation represents a critical nexus between discrete mathematics and computer science, underpinning the development of efficient methodologies for analysing complex ...

Data-driven AI systems increasingly influence our choices, raising concerns about autonomy, fairness, and accountability. Achieving algorithmic autonomy requires new infrastructures, motivation ...

Algorithmic information theory provides a rigorous framework for quantifying the inherent complexity of data, most notably through the concept of Kolmogorov complexity. This theoretical underpinning ...

The earth is actually flat! 9/11 was an inside job! YouTube was once rife with conspiracy theories like these — and its own recommendation algorithm was the culprit. While the company has made serious ...

Part of “Complexity Theory,” a column on the tangled questions of our technological age. “Addressing algorithmic bias is like hygiene,” she told me. “You don’t brush once, you don’t floss once, you do ...

I believe that every person has a superpower. Some lead with instinct, others with precision. Some ignite ideas, others build the systems that make those ideas real. The trick — in business, in ...

There's a particular strain of game theory, Colonel Blotto, that many believe could predict the outcomes of everything from elections to sports matches. It asks two sides to distribute soldiers over a ...

This course is available on the MSc in Applicable Mathematics and MSc in Operations Research & Analytics. This course is available with permission as an outside option to students on other programmes ...
