Math algorithm in programming
Friday, December 25th, 2009It is often overlooked how much math there is in programming and computer science. For example, my newest site http://www.mmlol.com uses a dynamic sorting and ranking algorithm to determine the most relevant funny links.
mmlol is a collection of user submitted links which must be stored in a database and then ranked by users. The trickiest part is the suggestion algorithm, which I have yet to create.
