About This Item
CHRISTIAN, Brian & GRIFFITHS, Tom: Algorithms to Live By: The Computer Science of Human Decisions. New York, Picador, 2017. Stated First Picador Edition. Softcover, 351 pp. Subject: Nonfiction/Computer Science/Human Behavior & Problem Solving-Mathematics and Mathematical Models/Computer Simulations and Algorithms. Condition: Very Good Plus. Small remainder "dot" on the topside of the book. Otherwise the book is in gently-used, near-fine condition with all pages clean and unmarked. "What should we do, or leave undone, in a day or a lifetime? How much messiness should we accept? What balance of the new and familiar is the most fulfilling? These may seem like uniquely human quandaries, but they are not. Computers, like us, confront limited space and time, so computer scientists have bee grappling with similar problems for decades. And the solutions they've found have much to teach us. [This book shows] how algorithms developed for computers also untangle very human questions....transforms the wisdom of computer science into strategies for human living." ISBN: 9781250118363
