All mainstream credit card numbers obey a mathematical trick designed to catch the most common typos. It’s called the Luhn algorithm, named after IBM researcher Hans Peter Luhn, who patented it in ...

The Journal of the Operational Research Society, Vol. 55, No. 12 (Dec., 2004), pp. 1275-1280 (6 pages) The fixed-charge problem is a non-linear programming problem of practical interest in business ...

As the world races to build artificial superintelligence, one maverick bioengineer is testing how much unprogrammed intelligence may already be lurking in our simplest algorithms to determine whether ...

A simple algorithm to aid in the selection of appropriate disease modifying therapies (DMTs) reduces racial disparities in patients with relapsing multiple sclerosis (MS), early new research showed.

Thank you for printing the lively article “A Storied Approach to Operations Research” (Notes from Academe, June 14), about Gene Woolsey of the Colorado School of Mines. ... I was especially struck by ...

Here's a simple algorithm that uses conventional microcontroller blocks to control commercially available H-bridges to properly commutate a bipolar stepper motor through a microstepping profile.

“To me, an algorithm is any piece of automated code that accepts some number of variables and data, [then] uses those variables and data to make decisions. But that’s the boring computer science ...
