The New Turing Omnibus: Sixty-Six Excursions in Computer Science
Prepare yourself for a wonderfully eclectic journey through the land of Turing, that ripe mathematical landscape fed by imagination and technology. Turing Omnibus
No other volume provides as broad, as thorough, or as accessible an introduction to the realm of computers as AK Dewdney's "The Turing Omnibus." Updated and expanded, "The Turing Omnibus" offers 66 concise, brilliantly written articles on the major points of interest in computer science theory, technology, and applications. New for this tour: updated information on algorithms, detecting primes, noncomputable functions, and self-replicating computers--plus completely new sections on the Mandelbrot set, genetic algorithms, the Newton-Raphson Method, neural networks that learn, DOS systems for personal computers, and computer viruses.
The coach stops at all the must-see landmarks in computer science - monuments of theory, avenues of application, and other points of interest along the way. From artificial intelligence and simulation to computer vision and cryptography, the Turing Omnibus takes you on a fascinating excursion. You will be shown how certain computer codes are used to protect the integrity of photographs beamed to Earth from space probes hundreds of thousands of miles away, how computers generate and manipulate random numbers to simulate real-life situations, and dozens of other intriguing glimpses into the current Download free Turing Omnibus: 61 Excursions in Computer Science from rapidshare, mediafire, 4shared
