Requirements: .ePUB reader, 22.2 MB
Overview: The wildly popular author of Bad Arguments returns with a funny, smart introduction to algorithms—those perennially misunderstood, increasingly important problem-solving rules that can save you time and lead to better choices, every day.
“One of the more clever ways of introducing computational thinking to the general public.” —Vint Cerf, Turing Award winner, Chief Internet Evangelist at Google, a ‘Father of the Internet’
Bad Choices is a book all about faster and slower ways of tackling everyday problems that aims to show how thinking in such terms can serve as a compelling introduction to computer science. The book contains twelve vignettes and sixty-five illustrations.
The book is the culmination of an effort that began in January 2014 to answer the question, “How might we make an abstract field like computer science compelling to a broad audience?”
“Perfect for anyone wanting to understand the basics of Computer Science.” —Cesar Hidalgo, director of the Collective Learning group at the MIT Media Lab, author of Why Information Grows
