Complexity theorists sort problems into categories, called complexity classes, based on the resource demands of the best algorithms for solving them — that is, the algorithms that run fastest or use ...

Recall that O (1) is pronounced “Big Oh of 1.” (See Part 1 for a reminder of how time and space complexity measurements are used to evaluate data structures.) ...

The student will use the techniques learned in this course and in previous courses to solve a number of logically complex programming problems using pseudocode, with an emphasis on establishing ...

Theoretical computer scientists are always probing the relationship of space (memory) and time. For 50 years, experts knew that a calculation of X steps required X/log X memory slots, but a new ...

Will algorithms designed for interconnected computers hold up if some of the machines are not here on Earth but flying about in space, onboard satellites or spacecraft?

Microsoft has made its Space Partition Tree And Graph (SPTAG) algorithm, used in its own Bing search engine, available to all as an open-source GitHub project.
