For example, temperature is a number, and a weather forecast might be “rainy” or “sunshine.” Transformation Next comes the heart of an algorithm – computation.

Algorithm is gonna get you: Cathy O'Neil's Weapons of Math Destruction explores how we're trapped by Big Data O'Neil's book is a primer on the ethical risks of Big Data and an algorithmically ...

Pamela Weber Harris , a former high school math teacher contends in a new volume, Developing Mathematical Reasoning: Avoiding the Trap of Algorithms, that too many classrooms focus too much on ...

The laws of mathematics tell us when two things are equal, but they can also tell us when one thing is bigger than another. This type of law is called an “inequality”.

In a lecture held at the Singapore Management University (SMU), Leslie Lamport, winner of the 2013 Turing Award, argued that thinking mathematically can be a useful step to specifying the algorithm ...

Another rule that I was not aware of when I first designed my algorithm is that you are allowed to group numbers together, rather than just doing 3 operations in a row. For example, this card is not ...
