Computer scientists from the University of California, San Diego broke "the terabyte barrier" -- and a world record -- when they sorted more than one terabyte of data (1,000 gigabytes or 1 million ...

Algorithms are the sets of steps necessary to complete computation. Algorithms are the sets of steps necessary to complete computation - they are at the heart of what our devices actually do. And this ...

Yet another great “unplugged” activity. It explains how sorting of data in computers work. This activity can be done in many ways, but we have picked the nicely explained one, where participants sort ...

In this module the student will learn the very basics of algorithms through three examples: insertion sort (sort an array in ascending/descending order); binary search: search whether an element is ...

The design, implementation, and analysis of abstract data types, data structures and their algorithms. Topics include: data and procedural abstraction, amortized data structures, trees and search ...

Computers are all around us. How does this affect the world we live in? This course is a broad introduction to computing technology for humanities and social science students. Topics will be drawn ...

As humans have come to rely on artificial intelligence to make decisions traditionally performed by bureaucrats and institutions, it is necessary to understand the ways in which various forms of ...

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 ...
