A recent paper set the fastest record for multiplying two matrices. But it also marks the end of the line for a method researchers have relied on for decades to make improvements. For computer ...

Integer linear programming can help find the answer to a variety of real-world problems. Now researchers have found a much faster way to do it. Inspired by the results of a game-playing neural network ...

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 ...

Bryan Shader joined the University of Wyoming faculty in 1990. He came to the University of Wyoming from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His research interests include Linear Algebra, Matrix ...

Linear algebra is rarely described as popular, but rarely does a mathematician portray it in a different, illuminating light. That is certainly one reason Gilbert Strang’s linear algebra lectures are ...
