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 ...

Last summer, three researchers took a small step toward answering one of the most important questions in theoretical computer science. To paraphrase Avi Wigderson of the Institute for Advanced Study, ...

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 ...

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, ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — A coin flip. A roll of the dice. A shake of the Magic 8 Ball. Humans have been outsourcing their decision-making to inanimate objects since long before recorded history. But ...

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 ...

Empowered by artificial intelligence technologies, computers today can engage in convincing conversations with people, compose songs, paint paintings, play chess and go, and diagnose diseases, to name ...

Computing is part of everything we do. Computing drives innovation in engineering, business, entertainment, education, and the sciences—and it provides solutions to complex, challenging problems of ...

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.

Students in Drexel’s Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (BSCS) program learn about the theory and practice of effective computing. CS majors tend to be skilled at math and writing code, and like ...
