Given its enormous impact on everyday life, it is essential that its debated origins are\u003cbr\u003eunderstood, and that its different foundations are explained. On the Foundations of Computing offers a comprehensive and critical overview of the birth and evolution of computing, and it presents some of the most important technical results and philosophical problems of the discipline, combining\u003cbr\u003eboth historical and systematic analyses. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe debates this text surveys are among the latest and most urgent ones: the crisis of foundations in mathematics and the birth of the decision problem, the nature of algorithms, the debates on computational artefacts and malfunctioning, and the analysis of computational experiments. By covering\u003cbr\u003ethese topics, On the Foundations of Computing provides a much-needed resource to contextualize these foundational issues. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor practitioners, researchers, and students alike, a historical and philosophical approach such as what this volume offers becomes essential to understand the past of the discipline and to figure out the challenges of its future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Giuseppe Primiero\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/16\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.37lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.75d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198835646\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGiuseppe Primiero, \u003cem\u003eAssociate Professor of Logic, University of Milan, Italy\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGiuseppe Primiero is Associate Professor of Logic at the Department of Philosophy, University of Milan (Italy).
