Newton method, invented by physicist Isaac Newton about 300 years ago, is an algorithm that still plays an important role in a wide range of fields, including logistics, financial engineering, ...

This is at least my ninth year of writing about Pi Day—here is my post from 2010. Of course it's called Pi Day because the date, 3/14, is similar to the first three digits of pi (3.1415 …). At this ...

For over three centuries, researchers have relied on a powerful algorithm developed by Isaac Newton to tackle complex problems in logistics, finance, computer vision, and even pure math. This simple ...

A computer scientist claims to have computed the mathematical constant pi to nearly 2.7 trillion digits, some 123 billion more than the previous record. Fabrice Bellard used a desktop computer to ...
