Mathematical thinking is crucial in all areas of computer science: algorithms, bioinformatics, computer graphics, data science, machine learning, etc. In this course, we will learn the most important ...

Virgilio Almeida and coauthors, drawing from their book Algorithmic Insitutionalism, argue that recommendation algorithms can and should be governed democratically. "Algorithms are emerging ...

Computational thinking is increasingly recognised as a fundamental approach to problem solving that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries. It involves organising complex challenges into ...

Since the very first days of computer science — a field known for its methodical approach to problem-solving — randomness has played an important role. The first program to run on the world’s first ...

In a society that vehemently protects our right to free speech, we lack the same vigour when it comes to freedom of thought. Every day, the majority of us succumb to the simplicity of algorithmic ...

In 1994, a mathematician figured out how to make a quantum computer do something that no ordinary classical computer could. The work revealed that, in principle, a machine based on the rules of ...

Algorithms have taken on an almost mythical significance in the modern world. They determine what you see on social media and when browsing online, help form people’s belief systems, and impact the ...
