I see it time and again in Google interviews or new-grad hires: The way data structures and algorithms — among the most important subjects in a proper computer science curriculum — are learnt is often ...

In this age of information explosion, the "internal skills" of programmers—algorithms and data structures—are particularly ...

X-ray diffraction of macromolecular crystals does not provide a direct image of a molecule. The macromolecule’s electron density can be computationally constructed by exploiting the anomalous signal ...

Algorithms are already all around us. Consider how Google’s proprietary algorithm in the driverless car functions as the connective tissue that combines the software, data, sensors and physical asset ...

In a network, pairs of individual elements, or nodes, connect to each other; those connections can represent a sprawling system with myriad individual links. A hypergraph goes deeper: It gives ...
