In the Footsteps of Programming Teachers by Krzysztof Frankowski Paperback Book

Description: In the Footsteps of Programming Teachers by Krzysztof Frankowski, Dan Frankowski "Krzysztof Frankowski has written an unusual book with a fresh look at many of the fundamental ideas behind the digital computer and the algorithms they run. This book should inspire the reader to explore these ideas further." -- Professor Daniel Boley, Data Science Director of Graduate Studies, University of Minnesota. "I enjoyed reading mathematics viewed through the clear lens of a mathematical computer scientist."-- Professor Stanislaw Goldstein, Chair of the Department of Applied Computer Science, University of Ld, Poland. This book is a meditation on the history and relationship of mathematics and programming by a pioneer from the early era of computing. Each of 13 chapters focuses on one or two master teachers and something they taught us. The teachings are broad concepts, but also concrete, with a problem defined in each chapter, and implemented in Mathematica (which can also be run in Mathics, a free and open-source tool). Spend a few hours reading some polished programming pearls. "We live in times of awful extravagance and waste of resources. Indeed, our actions and attitudes may be threatening even the beauty and human habitability of the natural environment of our planet. Mindset and values are important from small to large. I want to teach students to recognize the beauty of small pearls rather than tolerate the wasteful tangles that result from laziness." FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Author Biography Krzysztof Frankowski (born 1932) is a founding member and professor emeritus of computer science at the University of Minnesota (USA). He became interested in mathematics in high school, more deeply so after winning an award at the first International Mathematical Olympiad in Warsaw. He got a bachelors degree in mathematics at the University of Ld, a masters degree in applied mathematics from the University of Warsaw, and a doctorate in philosophy (Ph.D.) from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. From 1958 to 1965 he worked as a researcher at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel, where he wrote programs on the WEIZAC, one of the worlds first computers. From 1965 to 1997 he was a professor at the University of Minnesota in the Department of Computer Science.
