Computer scientists are a demanding bunch. For them, it’s not enough to get the right answer to a problem — the goal, almost always, is to get the answer as efficiently as possible. Take the act of ...

Computer scientists have discovered a new way to multiply large matrices faster than ever before by eliminating a previously unknown inefficiency, reports Quanta Magazine. This could eventually ...

Mathematicians love a good puzzle. Even something as abstract as multiplying matrices (two-dimensional tables of numbers) can feel like a game when you try to find the most efficient way to do it.

Jef Focant on whether workflows transfer between biological matrices, and which holds the most promise for minimally invasive ...

A switching matrix used in a test system connects a signal on a particular column to an instrument on a certain row. Typically, there are more signals than instruments, so several voltage measurements ...
