The Tree-Seed Algorithm (TSA) is a bioinspired metaheuristic designed for continuous optimisation, modelling each candidate solution as a tree that generates seeds to explore the search space. Its ...

This paper presents the Secant Optimization Algorithm (SOA), a novel mathematics-inspired metaheuristic derived from the Secant Method. SOA enhances search efficiency by repeating vector updates using ...

When it comes to teaching math, a debate has persisted for decades: How, and to what degree, should algorithms be a focus of learning math? The step-by-step procedures are among the most debated ...

In the 9th century, Muhammad ibn Musa al-Kharizmi helped solidify the concept of algorithms in mathematics and popularized ...

Among high school students and adults, girls and women are much more likely to use traditional, step-by-step algorithms to solve basic math problems – such as lining up numbers to add, starting with ...
