Cory Chang introduces the P vs. NP problem, explaining computational complexity classes and why the question remains unsolved.

P vs. NP is one of the greatest unsolved problems. Just what is it, and why is it so important?

On “Intuition Behind P=NP ?”

…s there is an inherent difficulty to solving some problems, and recognizing the elegance and beauty in the solution. Edit: I wanted to answer this because it's one of my favorite problems in CS. And NP stands for polynomial time for a nondeterministic machine, which means if a machine didn't have to take one step at a time(oversimplifying it). [video [video [video…
