Do you know what ‘ax2+bx+c=0’ is? Well, it’s the quadratic equation, which, believe it or not, is used in multiple fields in ...

Viscous fingering occurs when a thinner fluid pushes a thicker, more viscous fluid in a porous medium, like underground rock, ...

Teacher education often receives criticism for being too theoretical. Many students lack more training in how to teach in practice when they enter schools. They now receive this at the University of ...

Approximate solutions to more complex equations can be found using a process called iteration. Iteration means repeatedly carrying out a process. To solve an equation using iteration, start with an ...

The bar model method is a great way to visualise tricky mathematical concepts and solve problems. They are a quick and easy way to represent a situation in a word problem. Bar modelling can be used to ...

Abstract: The Quadratic assignment problem (QAP), referring to finding an optimal assignment between two sets of interrelated objects, is a fundamental problem in combinatorial optimization. It is ...

Abstract: Existing algorithms for the two-stage assembly scheduling problem (TASP) ignores the setup time and depends on four or more fine-tuned parameters. This work focuses on TASPs with separated ...

We will use the well-known bin packing problem as an example. Bin packing is a combinatorial optimization problem where a finite number of items of different sizes must be packed into bins or ...

This project implements a Branch and Bound (B&B) algorithm to solve the Agile Earth Observation Satellite Scheduling (AEOSS) problem — a complex NP-hard combinatorial optimization challenge. The ...
