Children naturally discover computer sorting algorithms through play, without any instruction, study finds surprisingly.

It was previously thought that children younger than 7 couldn't find efficient solutions to complex problems, but new ...

Abstract: We study the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) in the Congested Clique Model (CCM) of distributed computing. We present a deterministic distributed algorithm that computes a tour for the TSP ...
