Description

Explore the evolution of computation with A Science of Operations by Springer. This book provides a deep look into the history of programming, moving beyond just computer programming to examine the broader definition of how we define steps for computations and information-processing activities. While many histories focus solely on the hardware of the computer, this text offers a unique perspective by distinguishing the history of programming from the history of the computer itself. Although these two fields became closely linked during the 20th century, understanding their separate developments offers a clearer view of how modern technology functions. This work is essential for readers interested in the history of computing and the logic that drives modern machines. It examines how the ability to run a wide range of programs gives modern computers their flexibility and explores the foundational logic that makes today's digital world possible.

Key Features

Examines the history of programming as the definition of steps used in computations and information-processing activities.

Provides a unique perspective that separates the history of programming from the history of the computer hardware.

Explores how the flexibility of modern computers results from the wide range of programs that can be run on them.

Analyzes the close relationship between programming and computer development throughout the 20th century.

Offers a scholarly look at the logic and machines that formed the basis of modern computing history.
