I tend to divide my workday into blocks. Within minutes of waking up — we’re usually up by 5.30 a.m. — I sit down to write at least one Inc. article. Then I spend four to five hours writing a book, ...

Understanding moment-to-moment therapeutic change is critical for advancing psychological interventions, yet existing tools rarely capture these dynamics. Dynamical systems theory offers a ...

Four years ago, I was given a fantastic opportunity to be a math coach for a primary years program. But when I started, there was no framework to work within, no script to follow. I was starting from ...

We’ve all been there, on the short grass inside 100 yards after a crushed drive, hoping to stick it close. Then, the nerves kick in and tension creeps into your swing. Suddenly, you’ve bladed it over ...

Implement a DFS-based topological sort for directed acyclic graphs (DAGs). This algorithm is crucial in scheduling, dependency resolution, and compiler design. Perform DFS traversal maintaining ...

Children as young as 4 years old are capable of finding efficient solutions to complex problems, such as independently inventing sorting algorithms developed by computer scientists. The scientists ...

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 the easiest pieces first. But this kind of sorting has a cost.

ABSTRACT: In shape optimization, we often seek to optimize the shape of a domain in order to achieve a goal. For example, the sound of a drum depends on the shape of its membrane, via the eigenvalues ...

The docstring for greedy_topological_sort (see below) indicates that it uses the order of insertion as a tiebreaker but it looks like this is vestigal. Is this the desired behavior? It would make ...

The importance of using reward-based methods to train dogs is widely known, yet some people still use aversive methods. By definition, both reward-based and aversive methods work to change behavior, ...
