Nine Algorithms that Changed the Future
Every day we use impressive technological advances without even thinking about it. We transmit gigabytes of information over the network, look through thousands of documents in search of what we need, and make purchases in online stores. We archive voluminous materials so that they can be sent by e-mail, and use artificial intelligence computers that automatically correct typos in the text, retouch photos and do much more for us. All this is taken for granted at the current level of technology development. But such "miracles" would be impossible without the greatest ideas of computer science, born in the XX century! This book is about how these ideas originated and how they were implemented. The publication is intended for a wide audience. Prior acquaintance with computer science is not required from readers.
