Last week I wrote about the birthday of the world’s first computer programmer, Ada Lovelace. Before she came up with the world’s first computer program (conceptually, at least), Lovelace was an ...

If you’re the parent of an elementary school-age child, chances are good (OK, about one in ten, although actual numbers are hard to pin down) that you’ve encountered Everyday Math. Chances are ...

If you are interested in the real-world applications of numbers, discrete mathematics may be the concentration for you. Because discrete mathematics is the language of computing, it complements the ...

However, girls tend to be more diligent in elementary school and get better grades in math class throughout their schooling. And girls and boys across the grades tend to score similarly on state math ...

There is a general sense that programming is related to math and that people who are successful in math are often successful at programming. For math teachers, a natural question arises: “What is the ...

Start working toward program admission and requirements right away. Work you complete in the non-credit experience will transfer to the for-credit experience when you ...

When it comes to teaching math, a debate has persisted for decades: How, and to what degree, should algorithms be a focus of learning math? The step-by-step procedures are among the most debated ...

This fall, the Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences launched a new master’s of science graduate program in ...

This paper studies a class of integer programming problems in which squares of variables may occur in the constraints, and shows that no computing device can be programmed to compute the optimum ...
