The Foundations of Intuitionistic Mathematics
This book explains the development of theoretical computer science in its early stages, specifically from 1965 to 1990. The author is among the pioneers of theoretical computer science, and he guides the reader through the early stages of development of this new discipline. He explains the origins of the field, arising from disciplines such as logic, mathematics, and electronics, and he describes the evolution of the key principles of computing in strands such as computability, algorithms, and programming. But mainly it's a story about people – pioneers with diverse backgrounds and characters came together to overcome philosophical and institutional challenges and build a community. They collaborated on research efforts, they established schools and conferences, they developed the first related university courses, they taught generations of future researchers and practitioners, and they set up the key publications to communicate and archive their knowledge. The book is a fascinating insight into the field as it existed and evolved, it will be valuable reading for anyone interested in the history of computing.
The Zodiac Killer murdered five people between December of 1968 and October of 1969. The murders were followed by letters to the news media demanding publication of his threats and other written material, on pain of further killings. As the Unabomber, Theodore Kaczynski murdered three people and injured many more, over a period beginning in May of 1978 and continuing through April of 1995. His murders were followed by letters to the news media demanding publication of the letters themselves, and the so-called "Manifesto," on pain of further killings. Their methods were different, but their madness was the same. This book highlights the amazing similarities between Kaczynski and the Zodiac, the two most enigmatic and cerebral killers in U.S. history.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th Annual International Conference on Computing and Combinatorics, COCOON 2001, held in Guilin, China, in August 2001.The 50 revised full papers and 16 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 97 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on complexity theory, computational biology, computational geometry, data structures and algorithms, games and combinatorics, graph algorithms and complexity, graph drawing, graph theory, online algorithms, randomized and average-case algorithms, Steiner trees, systems algorithms and modeling, and computability.
