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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
