Nine Algorithms That Changed the Future: The… di John MacCormick

Excellent. I was already familiar with the theories behind all the algorithms (digital signatures, compression, pattern recognition, databases, etc) described, but was quite pleased to see how Mr. MacCormick explained each in very accessible terms, building the basis for each, expanding to show how tey're implemented, pointing out the flaws. Recommended read for anyone going into (or just interested in the underpinning of) computer theory.

Nine algorithms that changed the future : the… di John MacCormick

For a web developer like me with no formal computer science education, this book offers a great opportunity to explore some of the underlying mechanisms and ideas that are put to use in modern computing.

It is easy to read and understand and covers some very interesting material, with each chapter focusing on a particular problem and how an algorithm has been used to solve it.

While as far as I can tell the book contains no practical information for programmers as such, I found it quite inspirational and would therefore recommend it to anyone interested in learning about ideas in computing.… (altro)
