Hands–on Gadgets to Facilitate Algorithmic Thinking for Beginners

I. Introduction Algorithms are at the heart of all computing. In the increasingly information and computation driven world, it is important to have a good grasp of algorithmic techniques for the development of solutions to problems in various domains such as Engineering, a beginner in Programming/Computing, it is extremely important to develop the skills of systematic development of precise ste...

Approaches for Teaching Prolog to Beginners

Prolog is a very different language compared with procedural or object-oriented languages, and developing a Prolog programming mindset is a challenge for many novices. In this paper, we consider a number of teaching approaches which instructors use to deliver basic ideas about Prolog to novices. We classify these approaches into three categories – “logic based”, “declarative features based” and...

Remarks on the Tate Conjecture for beginners

The pair of conjectures of Tate, called T1 and T2 below, are of great importance. They provide analogues of two other famous conjectures, namely the Hodge Conjecture, which is a prediction in Complex Geometry, and the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer Conjecture, which is a centrepiece of Number theory. This dual aspect is what makes the Tate conjecture central and also very difficult to solve in gener...

Quantum computing for beginners

The paper introduces the basic concepts and principles behind quantum computing and examines in detail Shor’s quantum algorithm for factoring very large numbers. Some basic methodological principles and guidelines for constructing quantum algorithms are stated. The aim is not to provide a formal exposition of quantum computing but to identify its novelty and potential use in tackling NP-hard pr...
