The Advent of the Algorithm: The 300-Year Journey from an Idea to the Computer Tapa blanda - 2001 - 1st Edición
de David Berlinski
A deep and instructive account of the algorithm's development and its role in modern life.This book combines history, science and math to explain and explore the intriguing story of this momentous discovery. Illustrations.
Resumen
Simply put, an algorithm is a set of instructions-it's the code that makes computers run. A basic idea that proved elusive for hundreds of years and bent the minds of the greatest thinkers in the world, the algorithm is what made the modern world possible. Without the algorithm, there would have been no computer, no Internet, no virtual reality, no e-mail, or any other technological advance that we rely on every day.
In The Advent of the Algorithm, David Berlinski combines science, history, and math to explain and explore the intriguing story of how the algorithm was finally discovered by a succession of mathematicians and logicians, and how this paved the way for the digital age. Beginning with Leibniz and culminating in the middle of the twentieth century with the groundbreaking work of Gödel and Turing, The Advent of the Algorithm is an epic tale told with clarity and imaginative brilliance.

Primera línea
Some philosophers see into themselves, and some into their times; still others forge an alliance with the future, scribbling their secrets late at night and speaking in whispers to the insubstantial and impatient souls that are gathered around their study door, dying to be born.
