Item description from seller

Paperback. Computing, today more than ever before, is a multi-faceted discipline which collates several methodologies, areas of interest, and approaches: mathematics, engineering, programming, and applications. Given its enormous impact on everyday life, it is essential that its debated origins are understood, and that its different foundations are explained. On the Foundations of Computing offers a comprehensive and critical overview of the birth and evolution of computing,and it presents some of the most important technical results and philosophical problems of the discipline, combining both historical and systematic analyses.The debates this textsurveys are among the latest and most urgent ones: the crisis of foundations in mathematics and the birth of the decision problem, the nature of algorithms, the debates on computational artefacts and malfunctioning, and the analysis of computational experiments. By covering these topics, On the Foundations of Computing provides a much-needed resource to contextualize these foundational issues.For practitioners, researchers, and students alike, a historical andphilosophical approach such as what this volume offers becomes essential to understand the past of the discipline and to figure out the challenges of its future. On the Foundation of Computing offers a comprehensive and critical overview of the birth and evolution of computing, and analyses some of the most important technical results and philosophical problems of the discipline, combining both historical and systematic analyses.
