Book excerpt: An alternative history of software that places the liberal arts at the very center of software's evolution. In The Software Arts, Warren Sack offers an alternative history of computing that places the arts at the very center of software's evolution. Tracing the origins of software to eighteenth-century French encyclopedists' step-by-step descriptions of how things were made in the workshops of artists and artisans, Sack shows that programming languages are the offspring of an effort to describe the mechanical arts in the language of the liberal arts. Sack offers a reading of the texts of computing—code, algorithms, and technical papers—that emphasizes continuity between prose and programs. He translates concepts and categories from the liberal and mechanical arts—including logic, rhetoric, grammar, learning, algorithm, language, and simulation—into terms of computer science and then considers their further translation into popular culture, where they circulate as forms of digital life. He considers, among other topics, the “arithmetization” of knowledge that presaged digitization; today's multitude of logics; the history of demonstration, from deduction to newer forms of persuasion; and the post-Chomsky absence of meaning in grammar. With The Software Arts, Sack invites artists and humanists to see how their ideas are at the root of software and invites computer scientists to envision themselves as artists and humanists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computers can be effective tools for participating in the affairs of the world. They can also be used by the "experts" to erect barriers to participation. This book is a self-contained tutorial that can assist any reader with a background in high school mathematics in learning how to apply personal computing to enhance his or her understanding of modern quantitative methods in such areas as politics and economics, in environment and ecology, or in probability and statistics. The first part briefly introduces programming in True BASIC and includes eight programming projects that teach by example. These illustrate a variety of interesting applications and methods of computer-based quantitative reasoning - in lotteries and property taxes, in the law of supply and demand and the laws of chance (ESP, dice rolling, coin flipping, test taking), and in the use of peremptory challenges in jury selection. The remainder of the book applies mathematics and computing to real problems. Here the emphasis is on the art of expressing problems in ways that are amenable to computer analysis, with "assignments" for writing a number of computer programs for a wide variety of applications - in probability and statistics (a statistical comparison of two popular beers with the aid of a random number generator, a comparison of two roulette strategies, a statistical analysis of polling results, the Bell-Shaped Curve, and an analysis of a program aimed at reducing recidivism), in economic modeling (changing prices, inflation, mathematical tools for decision making, game theory), in optics (Fermat's principle, reflection and refraction, light caustics, funhouse mirrors, and an optical paradox), in Massachusetts local aid distribution, and in population models and ecology. Frank Wattenberg is Professor of Mathematics at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.

Download or read book The Computer Continuum written by Kurt Lauckner and published by Pearson Learning Solutions. This book was released on 2009-09-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In most of the sciences, introductory college courses focus on concepts rather than their practical application, with the latter reserved for more advanced study. An exception to this has been the fields of information systems and computer science, in which instruction has tended to focus directly on the tools of the trade, such as the technical aspects of word processing, spreadsheets, and databases. The philosophy of The Computer Continuum, however,is to concentrate on the concepts of information systems and computer science, such as data representation, operating systems, programming languages, and algorithms. While each chapter includes sections on software applications, and laboratory manuals are available to go with the text, the "concepts approach" of The Computer Continuum gives it a value that will last well beyond the current generation of computer tools. It builds a lasting foundation of fundamental concepts to prepare graduates for the future. Primarily for use in undergraduate introductory computer concepts courses offered by departments of information systems or computer science, The Computer Continuum is equally appealing to liberal arts majors and computer science majors. The text material has been tested on more than 10,000 college students in both large and small classes, and most of the concepts as presented can be expected to remain current for years to come. Furthermore, simulation and the associated computer concepts introduced in Chapter 11, "Simulation: Modeling the Physical World," are the foundation for a new approach to computer science, in addition to the theoretical and experimental approaches.
