In February 2016, we submitted a presentation for the Annual Conference of Sciences that was held in Paphos, Cyprus that year. Our team was composed by:
- Angelos Pelecanos (me)
- Andrianos Michael
- Evripidis Papaevripidis
Our presentation's subject was the intersection of mathematics and informatics/computer science and the many applications in this area.
-
Algebra:
- Solving simultaneous equations using Gaussian Elimination in O(N^3)
- Using numerical methods for approximating solutions
-
Combinatorics:
- Important problems in Graph Theory such as Shortest Path and Minimum Spanning Tree, which have many applications in modern networks
- Matrices and how every operation can be implemented in code
- Dynamic Programming as a problem solving paradigm, related to recurrent relations
-
Number Theory:
- We demonstrated some ways of Prime Testing with different complexities
- Using these we then concluded to Prime Factorization of integers, with many important applications in modern cryptography
-
Geometry:
- Implemented and demonstrated the Convex Hull algorithm
- Also showed how cartesian geometry can be easily implemented and used to solve problems by code
-
We additionally offered some basic information about complexity and the importance of complexity analysis in these applications.
