Tic Tac Toe Simulation — Random Moves

March 12, 2017 | Peter Prevos

Tic Tac Toe might be a futile children’s game but it can also teach us about artificial intelligence. Tic Tac Toe, or Naughts and Crosses, is a zero-sum game with perfect information. Both players know exactly what the other did and when nobody … Continue reading → The post Tic Tac ...

Euler Problem 14: Longest Collatz Sequence

March 1, 2017 | Peter Prevos

Euler Problem 14 looks at the Collatz Conjecture. These playful sequences, named after German mathematician Lothar Collatz (1910–1990), cause mathematicians a lot of headaches. This video introduces the problem much better than I can describe it. Euler Problem 14 Definition The following iterative … Continue reading → The post Euler Problem 14: Longest Collatz Sequence appeared ... [Read more...]

Euler Problem 13: Large Sum of 1000 Digits

February 22, 2017 | Peter Prevos

Euler Problem 13 asks to add one hundred numbers with fifty digits. This seems like a simple problem where it not that most computers are not designed to deal with numbers with a lot of integers. For example:   When asking … Continue reading → The post Euler Problem 13: Large Sum of 1000 Digits appeared ... [Read more...]
