Bloom Filters: Fast Set Membership in Almost No Space

A Bloom filter answers \"have I seen this before?\" using a tiny bit array and a handful of hash functions. It can be wrong — but only in one direction. Here's the mechanism, the math, and an interactive filter you can poke at.

Exam Scheduling with Max Flow: Assigning Rooms and Proctors

How do you assign exams to rooms and proctors simultaneously? Build a flow network, run Edmonds-Karp, and read off the assignments — or discover exactly why it's impossible.

Max Flow: Finding the Maximum Through a Network

How do you find the maximum flow through a network? Explore Ford-Fulkerson, Edmonds-Karp, and how to build intuition with working Python code.

Min Cut and the Max-Flow Min-Cut Theorem

The minimum cut of a network equals its maximum flow — one of the most elegant duality results in computer science. Here's how it works and how to find it.
