When Edsger W. Dijkstra published his algorithm in 1959, computer networks were barely a thing. The algorithm in question found the shortest path between any two nodes on a graph, with a variant ...

Instagram is back with a new feature that will allow users to "tune" their algorithm to only display the content they prefer to see, which will be first made available to Reels. The feature is still ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle ...

I noticed that the Graph Algorithms section does not yet include the interactive and educational features that were recently introduced in the Sorting Algorithms page I would like to contribute by ...

Caleb Zimmerman’s most important mentoring relationship as a Central Michigan University undergraduate student didn’t start in a classroom or a lab. It began in a study area. Zimmerman, a Big Rapids ...

There is a new sorting algorithm a deterministic O(m log2/3 n)-time algorithm for single-source shortest paths (SSSP) on directed graphs with real non-negative edge weights in the comparison-addition ...

If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle the easiest pieces first. But this kind of sorting has a cost.

When it comes to life, I tend to see myself as fairly optimistic. I believe in progress, I talk about hope, I champion happiness and purpose. And yet, there’s one very specific way I believe we should ...
