From powering search engines to securing data and optimizing networks, algorithms underpin nearly every aspect of modern technology. Understanding how efficiently they can solve problems — and where ...

Expanders graphs are sparse but well-connected. These seemingly contrasting properties have led to many applications in theoretical computer science, from complexity ...

Power graphs provide an innovative way to visualise and analyse the algebraic structure of finite groups. In a power graph, the elements of a finite group serve as vertices, and an edge is drawn ...

All of modern mathematics is built on the foundation of set theory, the study of how to organize abstract collections of objects. But in general, research mathematicians don’t need to think about it ...

Editor’s note: This is part of a series of stories featuring master’s degree programs at the University of Chicago. Bradley Stoller knew the University of Chicago was an ideal fit to pursue a master’s ...
