The 280-Year-Old Algorithm Inside Google Trips
Posted on September 21, 2016 by Shay
It’s easy to see that the process of finding the most efficient route and accomplishing a series of tasks while you’re visiting places optimally along that route isn’t a contemporary problem. I love how a lot of what we take for cutting edge and awesome today is fuelled by research and science of old. This is a really in depth article about Google Trips drawing in part on Euler’s work in its algorithm for travel itineraries.
