In a world run by computers, there is one algorithm that stands above all the rest. It powers search engines, encrypts your data, guides rockets, runs simulations, and makes the modern digital ...

All of modern mathematics is built on the foundation of set theory, the study of how to organize abstract collections of objects. But in general, research mathematicians don’t need to think about it ...

The numbers did not compute. Even before Terry Rozier dropped out of the 2023 NBA game in which he's accused of rigging his statistics, computers at an "integrity monitor" firm flagged a flood of bets ...

The 35-year-old saga of Kryptos, an enigmatic sculpture containing four encrypted messages outside the headquarters of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, recently took a bizarre twist.

This project implements the Caesar Cipher algorithm using Python and Tkinter. It provides a simple graphical interface that allows users to encrypt and decrypt messages by shifting letters according ...

Researchers have successfully used a quantum algorithm to solve a complex century-old mathematical problem long considered impossible for even the most powerful conventional supercomputers. The ...

You’re at the checkout screen after an online shopping spree, ready to enter your credit card number. You type it in and instantly see a red error message ...

When tech founders start weighing in on school subjects, students tend to pay attention. In a recent X exchange that sparked curiosity and classroom debates, Pavel Durov, founder of Telegram, shared a ...

In a sophisticated campaign that researchers called OneClik, red-team hackers leveraged Microsoft’s ClickOnce software deployment tool and custom Golang backdoors to simulate compromising ...

When it comes to teaching math, a debate has persisted for decades: How, and to what degree, should algorithms be a focus of learning math? The step-by-step procedures are among the most debated ...

A documentary screening Monday at the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley will take a look at math, how it’s taught, how the subject is approached and its power and necessity in the 21st ...
