Create divide and conquer, dynamic programming, and greedy algorithms. Understand intractable problems, P vs NP and the use of integer programming solvers to tackle some of these problems.

Thinking about getting good at competitive programming, especially on a platform like CodeChef? It can seem like ...

But, it's a great example of solving a problem using existing tools, so in this article, I explain the process. First, it's important to point out a few things. The purpose of this article is not ...

We introduce a novel approach to solving dynamic programming problems, such as those in many economic models, on a quantum annealer, a specialized device that performs combinatorial optimization ...

This paper considers a minimum-cost network flow problem in a bipartite graph with a single sink. The transportation costs exhibit a staircase cost structure because such types of transportation cost ...

Programming is Problem Solving When we bring programming to math class, we add a new layer of problem solving: translating mathematical problems/ideas to execute them in code. This often requires ...
