Synopsis :
The algorithm is just code, but it makes things happen. It's the set of abstract, detailed instructions that makes computers run. Any programmer can invent a new algorithm-and many have become millionaires doing just that. Computers, the Internet, virtual reality-our world is being transformed before our eyes, all because some quirky logicians and mathematicians followed the dream of ultimate abstraction and invented the algorithm. Beginning with Leibniz and culminating in the middle of this century with the work of little-known geniuses and eccentrics like Gödel and Turing, David Berlinski tells this epic tale with clarity and imaginative brilliance. You don't have to be a programmer or a math buff to enjoy his book. All you have to do is be fascinated by the greatest innovation of the twentieth century.

Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. 1st Edition. Volume itself has purple and black cloth covers with gold lettering on the spine. Dust jacket is protected in an archival quality (Brodart) cover. This is the story of the search for and eventual discovery of the algorithm, the set of instructions that drives computers. The algorithm was discovered by a succession of logicians and mathematicians working alone and in obscurity during the first half of the twentieth century. This is the story. Volume is clean, tight, bright and fresh. No underlining, no bookplates, no markings, not ex-libras, no highlighting. A very nice copy. N° de réf. du vendeur 001730
