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 ...

Circle detection algorithms form a fundamental pillar in computer vision, enabling the identification of circular features across a wide range of applications from automated industrial inspection to ...

Abstract: On a computer (PC) producing a circle is a slightly tedious task, this problem was first solved by the Bresenham's circle drawing algorithm, further that same algorithm was again improved by ...

The library sorting problem is used across computer science for organizing far more than just books. A new solution is less than a page-width away from the theoretical ideal. Computer scientists often ...

Max has loved video games ever since he booted up his friend's N64 and played Mario Kart. He quickly spent all his allowance on any game he could get his hands on, and spent hours playing a dusty PS2.

This program implements the Midpoint Circle Drawing Algorithm using OpenGL. It draws a circle on a Cartesian plane, allowing the user to input the radius. The resulting circle is displayed along with ...

In life, we sometimes have to make decisions without all the information we want; that’s true in computer science, too. This is the realm of online algorithms — which, despite their name, don’t ...
