The Computer --$tPart 2. The Brain 330 $aIn this classic work, one of the greatest mathematicians of the twentieth century explores the analogies between computing machines and the living human brain. John von Neumann, whose many contributions to science, mathematics, and engineering include the basic organizational framework at the heart of today's computers, concludes that the brain operates both digitally and analogically, but also has its own peculiar statistical language.In his foreword to this new edition, Ray Kurzweil, a futurist famous in part for his own reflections on the relationship between technology and intelligence, places von Neumann's work in a historical context and shows how it remains relevant today. 410 0$aSilliman Memorial Lectures 517 3 $aComputer and the brain 606 $aBrain 606 $aComputers 606 $aCybernetics 615 0$aBrain. 615 0$aComputers. 615 0$aCybernetics. 676 $a003.5 700 $aVon Neumann$b John$f1903-1957.$012895 701 $aKurzweil$b Ray$0749790 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910969513503321 996 $aThe computer & the brain$94366766 997 $aUNINA
