Jacobian matrix, Hessian matrix, and applications
Engineering math course in the first year of undergraduate would cover vector calculus.
Jacobian and Hessian matrices are naturally covered. Jacobian matrix of a vector-valued
function \(\mathbf{f}:\mathbb{R}^n\to\mathbb{R}^m\) is

Knuth (2000) Dancing Link
A paper that is easy to read, summarizing the development of algorithm to set
cover problem. The name “dancing link” is how Knuth called his implementation of
depth-first-search. Wikipedia has an article about that, named Knuth’s
Algorithm X.
