书籍简介
从亚里士多德和莱布尼茨到诺伯特·维纳和戈登·摩尔等思想家的经典论文，描绘了计算机科学的发展。
《创造未来的想法》收集了46篇计算机科学的经典论文，描绘了该领域的演变。它涵盖了计算机科学的所有方面：理论与实践、架构与算法、逻辑与软件系统，重点放在1936-1980年期间，但也包括重要的早期工作。该书提供了从亚里士多德和莱布尼兹到阿兰·图灵和诺贝尔·维纳等思想家的论文，记录了创造今天的数字世界的发现和发明。每篇论文都有编辑哈利·刘易斯的一篇短文，提供历史和知识背景。
读者将了解到，我们要感谢亚里士多德，他认识到固定的逻辑规则可以适用于不同的现象--逻辑提供了一个推理的一般框架--以及莱布尼茨认识到二进制符号的优点。他们可以阅读阿达·洛芙莱斯对L. F. Menabrea的分析引擎草图的注释，乔治·布尔试图以数学形式捕捉理性规则，戴维·希尔伯特在1900年的著名演讲“数学问题”，以及阿兰·图灵对一个元数学世界的照亮。后来的论文记录了20世纪50年代计算机设计的“寒武纪时代”、莫里斯·威尔克斯的微代码发明、格雷斯·霍珀对计算机“教育”的设想、伊万·萨瑟兰在麻省理工学院发明的计算机图形、惠特菲尔德·迪菲和马丁·赫尔曼在加密方面的开创性工作，以及更多。在计算机教育日益专业化的今天，刘易斯对这一新兴领域的指导之旅尤其值得欢迎。
Classic papers by thinkers ranging from Aristotle and Leibniz to Norbert Wiener and Gordon Moore that chart the evolution of computer science.
Ideas That Created the Future collects forty-six classic papers in computer science that map the evolution of the field. It covers all aspects of computer science: theory and practice, architectures and algorithms, and logic and software systems, with an emphasis on the period of 1936–1980 but also including important earlier work. Offering papers by thinkers ranging from Aristotle and Leibniz to Alan Turing and Nobert Wiener, the book documents the discoveries and inventions that created today's digital world. A brief essay by volume editor Harry Lewis, offering historical and intellectual context, accompanies each paper.
Readers will learn that we owe to Aristotle the realization that fixed rules of logic can apply to different phenomena—that logic provides a general framework for reasoning—and that Leibniz recognized the merits of binary notation. They can read Ada Lovelace's notes on L. F. Menabrea's sketch of an analytical engine, George Boole's attempt to capture the rules of reason in mathematical form, David Hilbert's famous 1900 address, “Mathematical Problems,” and Alan Turing's illumination of a metamathematical world. Later papers document the “Cambrian era” of 1950s computer design, Maurice Wilkes's invention of microcode, Grace Hopper's vision of a computer's “education,” Ivan Sutherland's invention of computer graphics at MIT, Whitfield Diffie and Martin Hellman's pioneering work on encryption, and much more. Lewis's guided tour of a burgeoning field is especially welcome at a time when computer education is increasingly specialized.
