Nine algorithms that have changed the world. Witty ideas underlying modern computers

Every day we use impressive technological achievements without even thinking about it. We transmit gigabytes of information over the network, view thousands of documents in search of the necessary, make purchases in online stores. We archive volumetric materials so that they can be sent by e -mail, and use the artificial intelligence of computers that automatically correct typos in the text, retouch photos and make much more for us.
All this at the current level of technology development is perceived for granted. But such “miracles” would be impossible without the greatest ideas of computer science born in the 20th century!
This book is about how these ideas originated and how they came to life.
The publication is designed for a wide audience. A preliminary acquaintance with informatics from readers is not required
