Product Description
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Rear Admiral Grace Murray Hopper (December 9, 1906 ? January 1, 1992) was an American computer scientist and United States Naval officer. A pioneer in the field, she was one of the first programmers of the Harvard Mark I computer, and she developed the first compiler for a computer programming language. She conceptualized and led the development of COBOL, one of the first modern programming languages. She is also credited with popularizing the term "debugging" for fixing computer glitches (motivated by an actual moth removed from the computer). Because of the breadth of her accomplishments and her naval rank, she is sometimes referred to as "Amazing Grace". The U.S. Navy destroyer USS Hopper (DDG-70) was named for her. ... Read more

Les achats comprennent une adhésion à l'essai gratuite au club de livres de l'éditeur, dans lequel vous pouvez choisir parmi plus d'un million d'ouvrages, sans frais. Le livre consiste d'articles Wikipedia sur : Dennis Ritchie, Grace Hopper, Christopher Strachey, Frances Allen, Julian Seward, Walter Bright, John Hopcroft. Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Christopher Strachey (né le 16 novembre 1916, décédé le 18 mai 1975) est un informaticien britannique. Il a fait ses études à la Gresham's School et à l'Université de Cambridge. Strachey est surtout connu comme l'un des premiers à avoir prôné une approche mathématique dans l'étude des programmes. Pour cela, il a introduit l'idée de sémantique dénotationnelle (d'abord appelée mathématique) dont l'objectif est de fournir des méthodes permettant de démontrer des propriétés des programmes. Il souhaitait par là atteindre la même rigueur que dans les démonstrations mathématiques usuelles, si ce n'est plus.L'une des principales caractéristiques de la sémantique dénotationnelle est donc qu'elle est définie par récurrence (induction en anglais) sur la structure des programmes. Dans un premier temps, Strachey a d'abord remis les considérations de syntaxe à leur juste place, appelant que les considérations syntaxiques ne devaient pas prendre le pas sur la sémantique dans l'étude des langages de programmation. Il a notamment écrit: Je considère les problèmes syntaxiques comme essentiellement non pertinents pour les langages de programmation ... En gros il me semble correct de penser que la sémantique est là pour ce que nous voulons dire et la syntaxe pour comment nous avons à le dire. Ailleurs, cité par Dana S. Scott, il écrit: Les problèmes de syntaxe sont beaucoup plus faciles que ceux de sémantique. Cela a comme conséquence naturelle, mais malheureuse, qu'une grande attention a été donnée aux questions syntaxiques... Rien ne pourrait être plus loin de la vérité ...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ...

Dezember 1991 in Palm Springs, Kalifornien; ursprünglich Křenek) war ein US-amerikanischer Komponist österreichischer Herkunft. Gedenktafel am Geburtshaus in Wien-Währing, Argauergasse 3Ernst Krenek, Sohn eines gebürtigen Tschechen und k.u.k-Offiziers, begann bereits im Alter von 16 Jahren sein Kompositionsstudium bei Franz Schreker in Wien. Nach seinem Militärdienst und einem zweisemestrigen Philosophiestudium folgte er seinem Lehrer 1920 nach Berlin, wo er bald im Kreise bedeutender Musiker wie Ferruccio Busoni, Hermann Scherchen und Eduard Erdmann verkehrte. Seine frühesten Werke sind in freier, sehr individueller Atonalität geschrieben, so die komische Oper Der Sprung über den Schatten. Nach einem zweijährigen Aufenthalt in der Schweiz (ab 1923) reiste Krenek nach Paris. Unter dem Einfluss Strawinskis und des französischen Neoklassizismus veränderte sich sein Kompositionsstil zum Eingängigeren und Unterhaltsameren. In Verbindung mit seiner Tätigkeit (1925-1927) als Assistent von Paul Bekker, dem Intendanten der Oper Kassel, entstand so sein größter Publikumserfolg, die am 10. Februar 1927 im Opernhaus Leipzig uraufgeführte, so genannte „Jazz-Oper" Jonny spielt auf. Sie war eine der meistgespielten Opern der zwanziger Jahre und ein großer Publikumserfolg.

Product Description
In forty brief devotionals, the authors make the case for the celebration of frequent Communion.Written in a pastoral tone, this book is a helpful teaching tool and an invigorating encouragment to reevaluate our conceptions of the Lord's Supper.

Pointed criticism of Protestant Evangelical America is not without warrant.It is a Church that has squandered great resources, capitulated to its culture, reenforced sheer moralism, encouraged self-help techniques, privatized spirituality, glamorized fleeting personalities, incited emotional sensationalism, revered a personal and experiential approach to Jesus, and sacrificed the offense of the Gospel for the mind-numbing sweetness of tolerant marketing.A corrective antidote is needed.The Sacrament of Communion is a vital part of such a remedy.

The Reformed Church in America, too, has not weathered these destructive forces unscathed. Help is needed, and recovering the regularity of the means of grace is an urgent matter.In cumulation, these reflections offer a biblical, historical, and refreshing understanding to the Sacrament of Communion.Come, again, to the Table of our Lord.

Product Description
Large oversize staple-fold w/tagboard slipcase. Computer science & technology, only 25 years old, have produced bold steps of leadership as well as stumbling false starts. Saul Rosen has admirably chronicled the steady progression of events leading to the present day. Through the challenges of development and application ENIAC by 1946, UNIVAC I by 1954, IBM 704 by 1956, Atlas by 1959, time-sharing machines in 1966, and the preponderence of 1971 computers-and the means by which these challenges have been met, we realize that few bounds are set on the work to be done in the next quarter century. However much we contribute in communication among our colleagues, it will only be a small part of our total contribution if we can but culture a dialog with the public. Lending a hand in the creation of this technology bears with it the responsibility of serving as a vocal part of the conscience which will guide further development and application. We thank Albert K. Hawkes, general chairman of ACM 71, and his committee for providing this unique opportunity to relate to the past and move into the future.

Excerpt: Raymond "Ray" Kurzweil (pronounced ; born February 12, 1948) is an American inventor and futurist. He is involved in fields as diverse as optical character recognition (OCR), text-to-speech synthesis, speech recognition technology, and electronic keyboard instruments. He is the author of several books on health, artificial intelligence (AI), transhumanism, the technological singularity, and futurism. Ray Kurzweil grew up in the New York City borough of Queens. He was born to secular Jewish parents who had escaped Austria just before the onset of World War II, and he was exposed via Unitarian Universalism to a diversity of religious faiths during his upbringing. His father was a musician and composer and his mother was a visual artist. His uncle, an engineer at Bell Labs, taught young Ray the basics of computer science. In his youth, he was an avid reader of science fiction literature. In 1963, at age fifteen, he wrote his first computer program. Designed to process statistical data, the program was used by researchers at IBM. Later in high school he created a sophisticated pattern-recognition software program that analyzed the works of classical composers, and then synthesized its own songs in similar styles. The capabilities of this invention were so impressive that, in 1965, he was invited to appear on the CBS television program I've Got a Secret, whe...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=25984 ... Read more
