One day in November, a product strategist we’ll call Michelle (not her real name), logged into her LinkedIn account and switched her gender to male. She also changed her name to Michael, she told ...

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.

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 ...

Every four years, the world gathers to watch as the best of every nation competes at the Olympic Games, broadcast all around the world. The excitement for each competition builds. But before an ...

Picture this: you’ve decided to host a dinner party. The guest list is small but important. You spend the week cleaning the house, polishing the silver, and making sure every detail reflects care. You ...

The Floyd-Warshall algorithm is a fundamental solution in graph theory for finding the shortest paths between all pairs of vertices in a weighted graph. This project explores the theoretical ...

ABSTRACT: For a simple undirected graph G, let A( G ) be the (0, 1) adjacency matrix of G. The Seidel matrix of G, is defined as S( G )=J−I−2A( G ) , where J is the all-one matrix and I is the ...
