具体描述
约翰·麦考密克，JohnMacCormick，计算机科学的领头人和导师。
获得牛津大学博士学位，曾经在惠普和微软从事研究工作。现在在迪金森学院担任计算机学科的教授。并且是多项专利的所有者。
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.
用户评价
##一本写给没有CS背景读者的算法科普书，作者非常成功地做到了深入浅出，运用很多形象的类比解释清楚了密码学/数字签名/搜索引擎排名等最广泛渗透到我们日常生活里的算法。读完最大的意外收获是终于知道现在每天苦逼学习的抽象代数有什么实际应用价值了。
