具体描述
约翰·麦考密克，JohnMacCormick，计算机科学的领头人和导师。
获得牛津大学博士学位，曾经在惠普和微软从事研究工作。现在在迪金森学院担任计算机学科的教授。并且是多项专利的所有者。
Every day, we use our computers to perform remarkable feats. A simple web search picks out a handful of relevant needles from the world's biggest haystack: the billions of pages on the World Wide Web. Uploading a photo to Facebook transmits millions of pieces of information over numerous error-prone network links, yet somehow a perfect copy of the photo arrives intact. Without even knowing it, we use public-key cryptography to transmit secret information like credit card numbers; and, we use digital signatures to verify the identity of the websites we visit. How do our computers perform these tasks with such ease? This is the first book to answer that question in language anyone can understand, revealing the extraordinary ideas that power our PCs, laptops, and smartphones. Using vivid examples, John MacCormick explains the fundamental "tricks" behind nine types of computer algorithms, including artificial intelligence (where we learn about the "nearest neighbor trick" and "twenty questions trick"), Google's famous PageRank algorithm (which uses the "random surfer trick"), data compression, error correction, and much more. These revolutionary algorithms have changed our world: this book unlocks their secrets, and lays bare the incredible ideas that our computers use every day.

##Clear and clever states for difficult concepts. May I do something similiarly?
评分 评分 评分##这是一本关于计算机世界的科普读物。 非常推荐刚接触计算机的朋友花上三五小时将全书通读一遍，没有技术细节，没有公式证明，它会告诉作者挑选出的九大算法出现的缘由和发展的过程。这些不关乎实现细节的思想概括，更能体现算法在整个领域中的存在的原因。它们不再是冷冰冰的...
评分虽然文笔不怎么样，但确实用日常语言和例子解释了不少算法的基本理念。
评分##其实早就读完了……
