Northwestern Engineering’s Samir Khuller welcomed the presenters and guests of part two of the Undergraduate Research Showcase by discussing the importance of academic curiosity. “Knowledge is not a ...

Descriptive set theorists study the niche mathematics of infinity. Now, they’ve shown that their problems can be rewritten in the concrete language of algorithms. All of modern mathematics is built on ...

Last year, 18 percent of Stanford University seniors graduated with a degree in computer science, more than double the proportion of just a decade earlier. Over the same period at MIT, that rate went ...

When the Clay Mathematics Institute put individual $1-million prize bounties on seven unsolved mathematical problems, they may have undervalued one entry—by a lot. If mathematicians were to resolve, ...

Hospitals are trying to catch disease earlier. Banks are defending against fraud in real time. Logistics companies are rerouting supply chains mid-crisis. Game studios are building worlds that ...

Computer science involves much more than writing code. It blends technical knowledge —like programming, algorithms and data systems — with soft skills, such as communication and problem-solving.

With AI at the forefront of technology, it is essential to recognize its role in every aspect of our daily operations, from maintaining contact with our customers to leveraging our marketing and human ...

Studying the epic journey of the iconic jumping plumber can lead to new insights in theoretical computer science—and may help researchers understand the tractability of problems in other areas.

Pose a question to a Magic 8 Ball, and it’ll answer yes, no or something annoyingly indecisive. We think of it as a kid’s toy, but theoretical computer scientists employ a similar tool. They often ...
