Ouvrage 9783540633693 : HISTORY OF ALGORITHMS: FROM THE PEBBLE TO THE MICROCHIP
A Source Book for the History of
Mathematics, but one which offers a
different perspective by
focusinng on algorithms. With the development of
computing has come an awakening
of interest in algorithms. Often
neglected by historians and
modern scientists, more concerned with the
nature of concepts, algorithmic
procedures turn out to 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.
