Professor Richard Karp Quoted in New York Times

^{October 31, 2006}
Professor Richard Karp, head of the ICSI Algorithms Group, was quoted in an October 31 New York Times article by Steve Lohr. Karp's presentation at the recent "2016" symposium clearly made an impression on Lohr, who writes, "[Karp] presented a fundamental explanation for why computing has had such a major impact on other sciences, and Dr. Karp himself personifies the trend. His research has moved beyond computer science to microbiology in recent years. An algorithm, put simply, is a step-by-step recipe for calculation, and it is a central concept in both mathematics and computer science".
