Knowing when to hold 'em, and when to fold 'em is one of life's perpetual mysteries. If you have a mathematical inclination, or a bent for probabilities, this book might well catalyze a turning point ...

A simple algorithm to aid in the selection of appropriate disease modifying therapies (DMTs) reduces racial disparities in patients with relapsing multiple sclerosis (MS), early new research showed.

“To me, an algorithm is any piece of automated code that accepts some number of variables and data, [then] uses those variables and data to make decisions. But that’s the boring computer science ...

The author presents a rapidly convergent algorithm to solve the general portfolio problem of maximizing concave utility functions subject to linear constraints. The algorithm is based on an iterative ...
