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 ...

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 ...

Mathematical programming with vanishing constraints (MPVC) represents a challenging class of optimisation problems where certain constraints become inactive—or “vanish”—depending on specific ...

Last year, I started writing about my experiences taking courses on machine learning and artificial intelligence. One of the big, unexpected problems I ran into was calculus and linear algebra. I've ...

President Obama earlier this year announced a new initiative, “Computer Science for All,” to empower a generation of American students with the computing skills they need to thrive in a digital ...

In this paper we consider min-max convex semi-infinite programming. To solve these problems we introduce a unified framework concerning Remez-type algorithms and integral methods coupled with penalty ...

While Paris was preparing to host the 33rd Olympic Games, more than 600 students from nearly 110 countries came together in the idyllic English town of Bath in July for the International Mathematical ...

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, Vol. 79, No. 4 (Nov., 1997), pp. 1352-1362 (11 pages) This paper uses resampling estimation techniques to develop a statistical mathematical programming ...

Want to model the progress of a disease over a month's time? Sure, just write a calculus equation that would model the statistics of the disease's progression for one ...
