商品描述

Problem solving in computing is referred to as computational thinking. The theory behind this concept is challenging in its technicalities, yet simple in its ideas. This book introduces the theory of computation from its inception to current form of complexity; from explanations of how the field of computer science was formed using classical ideas in mathematics by Gödel, to conceptualization of the Turing Machine, to its more recent innovations in quantum computation, hypercomputation, vague computing and natural computing. It describes the impact of these in relation to academia, business and wider society, providing a sound theoretical basis for its practical application.

Written for accessibility, Demystifying Computation provides the basic knowledge needed for non-experts in the field, undergraduate computer scientists and students of information and communication technology and software development.

Readership: High-School and undergraduate students in computer science, information and communication technology, and software development, and non-experts in the field looking to understand how computation works.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

計算中的問題解決被稱為計算思維(computational thinking)。這一概念背後的理論在技術上具有挑戰性,但其思想卻相對簡單。本書介紹了計算理論的發展,從其起源到當前的複雜性;從哥德爾(Gödel)利用數學的經典思想形成計算機科學領域的解釋,到圖靈機(Turing Machine)的概念化,再到最近在量子計算(quantum computation)、超計算(hypercomputation)、模糊計算(vague computing)和自然計算(natural computing)方面的創新。它描述了這些創新對學術界、商業和更廣泛社會的影響,為其實際應用提供了堅實的理論基礎。

《揭開計算的神秘面紗》(Demystifying Computation)旨在提高可及性,提供非專家、計算機科學本科生以及信息與通信技術和軟體開發學生所需的基本知識。

讀者對象:高中生和計算機科學、信息與通信技術及軟體開發的本科生,以及希望了解計算如何運作的非專家。
