Book Synopsis A History of Algorithms by : Jean-Luc Chabert
Download or read book A History of Algorithms written by Jean-Luc Chabert and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of computing has reawakened interest in algorithms. Often neglected by historians and modern scientists, algorithmic procedures have been instrumental in the development of fundamental ideas: practice led to theory just as much as the other way round. The purpose of this book is to offer a historical background to contemporary algorithmic practice.

Book Synopsis Éléments pour une histoire de l'informatique by : Donald Ervin Knuth
Download or read book Éléments pour une histoire de l'informatique written by Donald Ervin Knuth and published by Center for the Study of Language and Information Publica Tion. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Voici enfin la traduction en français d'une série de quinze articles classiques de Donald E. Knuth portant sur des moments clés de l'histoire de l'informatique, plus exactement l'algorithmique, que ce soit à l'époque babylonienne ancienne, au neuvième siècle lors de l'âge d'or des sciences arabes ou après l'invention des ordinateurs : étude des premiers programmes, des premiers langages de programmation et des premiers compilateurs. On y retrouve également l'historique des notions chères à Knuth : découpage d'un paragraphe en ligne, grammaires à attributs et vocabulaire de l'analyse des algorithmes. Donald E. Knuth, professeur émérite à l'université Stanford, est l'un des pionniers de l'algorithmique. Le Centre pour l'Étude des Languages et l'Information (CSLI) de l'université de Stanford et la Société Mathématique de France vous proposent la traduction en français de deux sélections d'articles de Donald E. Knuth, la première portant sur l'histoire de l'informatique, et l'autre sur l'algorithmique. Rappelons que Donald E. Knuth, est l'un des pionniers de l'algorithmique. Il est l'auteur d'une centaine d'articles et d'une dizaine de livres sur l'algorithmique et les mathématiques discrètes. Les quatre premiers volumes de The Art of Computer Programming demeurent un ouvrage de référence. Il est aussi l'auteur des logiciels TeX et METAFONT qui ont révolutionnés la typographie.
Download or read book L'Algorithmique written by Claire Mathieu and published by Fayard. This book was released on 2018-03-28 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les algorithmes prennent une place grandissante dans la société, que ce soit pour des applications informatiques ou pour des usages en société (réseaux sociaux, moteurs de recherche, affectation post-bac, découpage électoral). Lorsque la théorie prend du retard sur la pratique, les méthodes risquent d'être appliquées avant qu'on ait compris leurs aspects fondamentaux, ce qui induit des risques de manipulation. La perspective algorithmique allie des considérations d'efficacité à une approche systématique des problèmes passant par différentes phases (modélisation, formalisation, résolution, application) au cours desquelles l'aléatoire joue un rôle important. Quand ils sont bien conçus, les algorithmes peuvent être un outil de transformation de la société et contribuer au bien social. Claire Mathieu est informaticienne. Elle travaille sur les algorithmes, notamment les algorithmes d'approximation et la modélisation mathématique des réseaux sociaux. Directrice de recherche au CNRS, elle a été nommée sur la chaire annuelle d'Informatique et sciences numériques pour l'année académique 2017-2018.
Book Synopsis The Eye of the Master by : Matteo Pasquinelli
Download or read book The Eye of the Master written by Matteo Pasquinelli and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2023-10-10 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A social history of AI that finally reveals its roots in the spatial computation of industrial factories and the surveillance of collective behaviour. What is AI? A dominant view describes it as the quest "to solve intelligence," a solution supposedly to be found in the secret logic of the mind or in the deep physiology of the brain, such as in its complex neural networks. The Eye of the Master argues, to the contrary, that the inner code of AI is shaped not by the imitation of biological intelligence, but the intelligence of labour and social relations, as it is found in Babbage's "calculating engines" of the industrial age as well as in the recent algorithms for image recognition and surveillance. The idea that AI may one day become autonomous (or "sentient", as someone thought of Google's LaMDA) is pure fantasy. Computer algorithms have always imitated the form of social relations and the organisation of labour in their own inner structure and their purpose remains blind automation. The Eye of the Master urges a new literacy on AI for scientists, journalists and new generations of activists, who should recognise that the "mystery" of AI is just the automation of labour at the highest degree, not intelligence per se.

Book Synopsis The Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art by : Kangshen Shen
Download or read book The Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art written by Kangshen Shen and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1999 with total page 636 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art has been the most important mathematical source in China for the past 2000 years, comparable in significance to Euclid's Elements in the West. The Nine Chapters quickly acquired a distinguished reputation, and was the standard mathematics textbook in China and the surrounding regions until Western science was introduced in about 1600. This volume contains the first complete English translation of the Nine Chapters, together with the illuminating commentary of Liu Hui written in the 3rd century AD and other early century commentaries and further insights provided by the translators. The Nine Chapters contains 246 problems and their solutions, which fall into nine categories that are firmly based on practical needs. There are methods for solving problems in areas such as land measurement, construction, agriculture, commerce, and taxation, while the Chinese commentators provide the algorithms needed to solve the problems, and explanations of how the algorithms work. The translators' commentary provides clear and accessible background material for the Western reader, explanations of technicalities, and notes on the treatment of similar or identical mathematical problems in other countries. This first, full-English translation gives us an idea of the distinctive style and important contributions that have been made by traditional Chinese mathematics.

Book Synopsis Concepts of Nature by : Hans Ulrich Vogel
Download or read book Concepts of Nature written by Hans Ulrich Vogel and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2010-08-13 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, inspired by the sociologist Günter Dux, co-edited by the historian Hans Ulrich Vogel, and introduced by Mark Elvin, is a collective intellectual masterpiece written by some of the world’s leading scholars. Its purpose is to illuminate premodern Chinese ways of thinking about Nature by comparing them with their counterpart traditions in Europe. In so doing it also subtly reshapes our understanding of premodern European concepts of the natural world. The domains covered principally include philosophy, language, poetry, science, and mathematics, and their relations with society, technology, and politics. By analyzing the frequent partial similarities between these great two cultural areas in the context of their overall contrasts, it points the way for the first time to defining accurately the differences that have been critical for world history.

The story of this school and its founder, Léon Eyrolles, are addressed. Then, an important unpublished book of Cholesky on graphical calculation is analyzed in detail and compared to similar contemporary publications. The biography of Ernest Benoit, who wrote the first paper where Cholesky ́s method is explained, is provided. Various documents, highlighting the life and the personality of Cholesky, end the book.
