University Press of Southern Denmark European Historiography of Technology
Book SynopsisThis is an anthology about technology''s role in the modernisation process. It is written by a European group of historians of technology. Technological modernisation is very much a question of transferring technology from an innovating culture to a culture aspiring to economic growth. But technology is not only a lever of riches. Sometimes it was not even that. Technology in this anthology is not defined as artefacts only, but as skills and culture, too. Technology transfer was, perhaps, the most important agent of modernisation. Consequently, modernisation must be understood as a complex internationalisation of technological competence. Technological artefacts will always be embedded in a cultural environment. During transfer the recipient culture is likely to be upset, because transfer of technology invariably means transfer of cultural values. Sometimes the recipient culture refuses the technology transfer, sometimes it manages to shape the technological artefact according to its own cultural values, but quite often the recipient cultures succumb. The modernisation process can be seen as technology transfer smoothing out divergencies between cultures of European nation states. Or a smelting pot of technological artefacts and skills. This volume is an attempt to study the relationship between technology as artefacts and skills and cultural environments, academies of science, education systems and ethical values in a comparative European perspective. The papers were given at a conference in Roskilde in 1992 attended by some 40 historians of technology from Germany, the Netherlands, Scandinavia and the United Kingdom.

Andriy Burkov The Hundred-Page Machine Learning Book
Book SynopsisAs its title says, it's the hundred-page machine learning book. It was written by an expert in machine learning holding a Ph.D. in Artificial Intelligence with almost two decades of industry experience in computer science and hands-on machine learning.This is a unique book in many aspects. It is the first successful attempt to write an easy to read book on machine learning that isn't afraid of using math. It's also the first attempt to squeeze a wide range of machine learning topics in a systematic way and without loss in quality.The book contains only those parts of the huge body of material on machine learning developed since the 1960s that have proven to have a significant practical value. A beginner in machine learning will find in this book just enough details to get a comfortable level of understanding of the field and start asking the right questions. Practitioners with experience will use this book as a collection of pointers to the directions of further self-improvement.The book also comes in handy when brainstorming at the beginning of a project, when you try to answer the question whether a given technical or business problem is 'machine-learnable' and, if yes, which techniques you should try to solve it.The book comes with a wiki which contains pages that extend some book chapters with additional information: Q&A, code snippets, further reading, tools, and other relevant resources. Thanks to the continuously updated wiki this book like a good wine keeps getting better after you buy it.

Purdue Scholarly Publishing Services First in the Field: Breaking Ground in Computer
Book SynopsisFirst in the Field: Breaking Ground in Computer Science at Purdue University chronicles the history and development of the first computer science department established at a university in the United States. The backdrop for this groundbreaking academic achievement is Purdue in the 1950s when mathematicians, statisticians, engineers, and scientists from various departments were searching for faster and more efficient ways to conduct their research. These were fertile times, as recognized by Purdue’s President Frederick L. Hovde, whose support of what was to become the first “university-centered” computer center in America laid the foundation for the nation’s first department of computer science.The book pulls together strands of the story from previously unpublished texts and photographs, as well as published articles and interviews, to provide the first complete historical account of the genesis of the Department of Computer Sciences at Purdue, and its continued growth up to the present. It is a fascinating story with parallels to the “space race,” involving many players, some of whose contributions have gone previously unacknowledged in the heat of the race. Filled with unique historical anecdotes detailing the challenges of legitimizing the new academic field, these stories bring to life the strong convictions of a group of pioneering thinkers that continue to resonate for us today. The raw determination required to transform a computing laboratory that offered early programming courses into a full-fledged computer center and a department offering degrees in computer science characterizes this story of interest to anyone intrigued by the pathways creativity takes in scientific endeavors. It is a story that matters because it was, and is, an ongoing achievement of leadership in education and research in a field that has totally revolutionized our society.Table of Contents Foreword Introduction Chapter 1: Between the Fields Chapter 2: Breaking Ground Chapter 3: Planting the Seed Chapter 4: Metamorphosis Chapter 5: Growing Pains Chapter 6: The Flowering Chapter 7: The Future Chapter 8: Epilogue Department of Computer Sciences People First in the Field: Acknowledgments

Morgan & Claypool Publishers Edmund Berkeley and the Social Responsibility of
Book SynopsisEdmund C. Berkeley (1909 – 1988) was a mathematician, insurance actuary, inventor, publisher, and a founder of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). His book Giant Brains or Machines That Think (1949) was the first explanation of computers for a general readership. His journal Computers and Automation (1951-1973) was the first journal for computer professionals. In the 1950s, Berkeley developed mail-order kits for small, personal computers such as Simple Simon and the Braniac. In an era when computer development was on a scale barely affordable by universities or government agencies, Berkeley took a different approach and sold simple computer kits to average Americans. He believed that digital computers, using mechanized reasoning based on symbolic logic, could help people make more rational decisions. The result of this improved reasoning would be better social conditions and fewer large-scale wars. Although Berkeley’s populist notions of computer development in the public interest did not prevail, the events of his life exemplify the human side of ongoing debates concerning the social responsibility of computer professionals.This biography of Edmund Berkeley, based on primary sources gathered over 15 years of archival research, provides a lens to understand social and political decisions surrounding early computer development, and the consequences of these decisions in our 21st century lives.Table of Contents Modern Methods of Thinking, 1927–1941 Navy Assignment at the Harvard Computation Lab, 1944–1946 Establishing Open Communication Channels for Technology Development, 1945–1948 Robots and Giant Brains, 1942–1961 National Security Investigations, 1948–1955 Engineering Peace, 1948–1970 A Denunciation of Killing Devices, 1952–1972 The Remaking of Man, 1973–1987 Bibliography Author's Biography

New India Publishing Agency Geoinformatics Applications in Agriculture
Book SynopsisThe Earth functions as a complex system, and existing infrastructure and methodologies are inadequate for addressing many of the problems associated with it. An integrated and innovative approach is necessary to analyze, model, and develop extensive and diverse datasets for solving these problems. Geoinformatics, which is the synergy of various disciplines such as earth sciences, GIS, remote sensing, GPS, photogrammetry, and cartography, is rapidly advancing in areas where data are identified by their locations. Currently, there is a chaotic distribution of available datasets, a lack of documentation about them and the methodologies used, a lack of easily accessible tools for computer modeling, and other obstacles that make it difficult for earth scientists to develop solutions. The authors have attempted to overcome these challenges by bringing together relevant information and techniques, as well as recent advances in these fields. This book provides a comprehensive overview of various topics related to the applications of geoinformatics, which are highly diversified and include space and environmental monitoring, watershed management, water resources and management, productivity enhancement in agro-ecosystems, resource information systems, precision farming, monitoring of glaciers and lakes, geospatial techniques, and livelihood improvement using GIS.
