Computer science is the study of computers and computational systems. Computer scientists use various mathematical algorithms, coding procedures, and their expert programming skills to study computer ...

Many other places are beefing up computer-science teaching, too. Israel was an early adopter, updating its high-school syllabus a decade ago; New Zealand and some German states recently did the same.

Before computer science, there were equations, formulas and theorems. Computer science allowed sequences of operations, processes, and procedures to be developed to process complex problems.

Computer science is an ever-evolving field that impacts almost every aspect of our daily lives, yet understanding how its ...

This algorithm computes the maximum traffic flow with minimum transport costs for any type of network. It thus solves a key question in theoretical computer science.

A teenage programmer tests how different types of algorithms can be used to speed up searching her massive music collection. Suitable for teaching at KS3, KS4 and National 4 and 5.

One computer scientist’s “stunning” proof is the first progress in 50 years on one of the most famous questions in computer science. Illustration: Irene Pérez/Quanta Magazine ...

The algorithms are trained largely on white faces and therefore may be less accurate at distinguishing between faces of people of color. Ethical issues in computer science ...
