algorithms

I was surfing r/nosurf on Reddit, hoping to break the universe, when I happened upon a comment that I found supremely interesting. However, because I don't understand the technical subject matter very well at all, I can't tell if the person is crazy, how intrigued I should be, how to look up...

Has anyone here worked with algorithms designed to keep something in balance? for instance, robots standing on their feet, or driving bicycles, or the ones on the Segway... I understand I need it to be sensible of its surroundings (an x/y graph) and to be able to react in order to keep...

I love what I do research on (mostly developing new algorithms for challenging problems, especially some in graph theory). I've slowly writing up the results of 25 years of research and wanting to find some interesting ways of sharing it. I've also wanted to write an invitation to math...

I used to have a good list of these things. But, I don't know where it is, right now. Perhaps some of you could help me rebuild it. I am looking for any and all of the most fascinating computer simulations of evolutionary processes. In particular, those that demonstrate how "Irreducible...

Well not quite yet. http://www.cmu.edu/news/archive/2008/January/jan3_justmitchell.shtml I find this very interesting on several levels. I can foresee a web browser that thows up search results based on what you are thinking. Thought/neural controlled interfaces for computers or devices. And...

Does anyone know anything about these? I have a 1GB MP3 player made by SanDisk, and I have about 420 songs on it. I like to listen to them on "shuffle" mode - kind of like having a radio station where I know I'll like all the music. The only problem is, about 70-80% of the time, it plays one...
