具體描述
約翰·麥考密剋，JohnMacCormick，計算機科學的領頭人和導師。
獲得牛津大學博士學位，曾經在惠普和微軟從事研究工作。現在在迪金森學院擔任計算機學科的教授。並且是多項專利的所有者。
Every day, we use our computers to perform remarkable feats. A simple web search picks out a handful of relevant needles from the world's biggest haystack: the billions of pages on the World Wide Web. Uploading a photo to Facebook transmits millions of pieces of information over numerous error-prone network links, yet somehow a perfect copy of the photo arrives intact. Without even knowing it, we use public-key cryptography to transmit secret information like credit card numbers; and, we use digital signatures to verify the identity of the websites we visit. How do our computers perform these tasks with such ease? This is the first book to answer that question in language anyone can understand, revealing the extraordinary ideas that power our PCs, laptops, and smartphones. Using vivid examples, John MacCormick explains the fundamental "tricks" behind nine types of computer algorithms, including artificial intelligence (where we learn about the "nearest neighbor trick" and "twenty questions trick"), Google's famous PageRank algorithm (which uses the "random surfer trick"), data compression, error correction, and much more. These revolutionary algorithms have changed our world: this book unlocks their secrets, and lays bare the incredible ideas that our computers use every day.

##這是一本關於計算機世界的科普讀物。 非常推薦剛接觸計算機的朋友花上三五小時將全書通讀一遍，沒有技術細節，沒有公式證明，它會告訴作者挑選齣的九大算法齣現的緣由和發展的過程。這些不關乎實現細節的思想概括，更能體現算法在整個領域中的存在的原因。它們不再是冷冰冰的...
評分##很淺，覺得兩篇博客能講清楚瞭
評分 評分##對計算機的專業課感到學瞭沒什麼用的，可以來看看那些專業課到底能做什麼。普通人可以作為科普書來瞭解一些算法，如果你想做開發，搞實現，這本書就沒必要瞭。 這是一本科普書，並沒有講解算法具體實現。全書幾乎沒有公式，也不討論細節，非常適閤對算法感興趣的讀者。所以如...
評分##其實早就讀完瞭……
