Last week I wrote about the birthday of the world’s first computer programmer, Ada Lovelace. Before she came up with the world’s first computer program (conceptually, at least), Lovelace was an ...

Explore zero-one integer programming, a key method in logical problem-solving, using binary choices for optimal decisions in finance, production, and more.

Mathematical programming with vanishing constraints (MPVC) represents a challenging class of optimisation problems where certain constraints become inactive—or “vanish”—depending on specific ...

Organizational strategies that help students break complex word problems into manageable chunks may be the key to solving them, according to a 2025 study.
