Released into the wild decades ago, Florida’s giant pythons have multiplied into an unstoppable force, devouring native wildlife and collapsing fragile ecosystems. David Letterman scorches Trump with ...

For the past several years, America has been using its young people as lab rats in a sweeping, if not exactly thought-out, education experiment. Schools across the country have been lowering standards ...

The idea that we might be living inside a vast computer simulation, much like in The Matrix, has fascinated philosophers and scientists for years. But a new study from researchers at the University of ...

About a decade ago Tonan Kamata, now a mathematician at the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST), stood mesmerized in front of a math museum’s origamilike exhibit. It featured a ...

Every few years or so, a development in computing results in a sea change and a need for specialized workers to take advantage of the new technology. Whether that’s COBOL in the 60s and 70s, HTML in ...

While we have the Python built-in function sum() which sums the elements of a sequence (provided the elements of the sequence are all of numeric type), it’s instructive to see how we can do this in a ...

One of the long-standing bottlenecks for researchers and data scientists is the inherent limitation of the tools they use for numerical computation. NumPy, the go-to library for numerical operations ...

There is a phenomenon in the Python programming language that affects the efficiency of data representation and memory. I call it the "invisible line." This invisible line might seem innocuous at ...

Python is convenient and flexible, yet notably slower than other languages for raw computational speed. The Python ecosystem has compensated with tools that make crunching numbers at scale in Python ...
