Historical Documents. 330 $aThis book explains the development of theoretical computer science in its early stages, specifically from 1965 to 1990. The author is among the pioneers of theoretical computer science, and he guides the reader through the early stages of development of this new discipline. He explains the origins of the field, arising from disciplines such as logic, mathematics, and electronics, and he describes the evolution of the key principles of computing in strands such as computability, algorithms, and programming. But mainly it's a story about people ? pioneers with diverse backgrounds and characters came together to overcome philosophical and institutional challenges and build a community. They collaborated on research efforts, they established schools and conferences, they developed the first related university courses, they taught generations of future researchers and practitioners, and they set up the key publications to communicate and archive their knowledge. The book is a fascinating insight into the field as it existed and evolved, it will be valuable reading for anyone interested in the history of computing. 606 $aComputers 606 $aHistory 606 $aMathematics 606 $aHistory of Computing$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I24024 606 $aHistory of Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/731000 606 $aTheory of Computation$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I16005 606 $aHistory of Mathematical Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M23009 615 0$aComputers. 615 0$aHistory. 615 0$aMathematics. 615 14$aHistory of Computing. 615 24$aHistory of Science. 615 24$aTheory of Computation. 615 24$aHistory of Mathematical Sciences. 676 $a004 700 $aAusiello$b Giorgio$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0439546 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299350103321 996 $aThe Making of a New Science$92281707 997 $aUNINA
