Path of Exile 2 has shaped up to be something special in the looter RPG genre. It is deeper and more dynamically expressive than its predecessor, and that is exactly why so many players are willing to ...

Shortest path algorithms sit at the heart of modern graph theory and many of the systems that move people, data, and goods around the world. After nearly seventy years of relying on the same classic ...

ABSTRACT: In the present work we study the Hamiltonian, path integral and BRST formulations of the Chern-Simons-Higgs theory in two-space one-time dimensions, in the so-called broken symmetry phase of ...

The rape and murder of a beloved Northport grandmother has finally been solved after 30 years. Ann Lustig's family has been praying for answers since her 1997 murder. Lustig lived in a group home not ...

When Edsger W. Dijkstra published his algorithm in 1959, computer networks were barely a thing. The algorithm in question found the shortest path between any two nodes on a graph, with a variant ...

A group of math teachers in Tucson, Arizona, came under fire for their Halloween costumes this weekend. The teachers’ bloodied white t-shirts with the phrase “Problem solved” written across the chest ...

Rubik's cubes are great for fun, fast-paced problem solving, but they also have a rich mathematical structure involving ideas of symmetry and connectivity. A 3x3x3 Rubik’s cube has 43 quintillion ...

Abstract: The Hamiltonian path serves as a robust tool for unicast or multicast communication in parallel and distributed systems. Embedding this path structure into large-scale systems, especially ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle ...
