Almost weekly a friend or an acquaintance asks me, “I want to learn to code; which language should I start with?” More or less bi-weekly I get a DM on LinkedIn starting with, “My son should start ...

Quantum physicists have developed an algorithm that uses a single qubit to solve a problem that had previously needed thousands of them. Quantum computing offers the hope of dramatic increases in ...

Learn a clear, step-by-step approach to solving coding problems—from understanding the prompt and planning an algorithm to writing clean code and testing edge cases. These practical problem-solving ...

In life, we sometimes have to make decisions without all the information we want; that’s true in computer science, too. This is the realm of online algorithms — which, despite their name, don’t ...
