"Tracing the story of computing from Babylonian counting boards to smartphones, this inspiring textbook/reference provides a concise overview of the key events in the history of computing, together with discussion exercises to stimulate deeper investigation into this fascinating area.Topics and features:* Provides chapter introductions, summaries and key topics, as well as review questions and a glossary* Includes an introduction to analogue and digital computers, and to the foundations of computing* Examines the contributions of the ancient Babylonian, Egyptian, Greek, Roman, and Islamic civilisations to the field of computing* Covers the first digital computers, and the earliest examples of commercial computers, mainframes and minicomputers* Describes the invention and early development of the integrated circuit and the microprocessor* Reviews the emergence of home computers, and the introduction of the IBM personal computer* Discusses the technological revolutions initiated by the creation of the Internet, the invention of the smartphone, and the rise of social media* Presents a short history of telecommunications, programming languages, operating systems, software engineering, artificial intelligence, and databasesThis engaging and easy-to-read work serves as an introductory textbook for students of computer science interested in the historical basis of the field. The curious reader will also find the book to be ideal as a self-study primer on the origins of the fundamental theory and early applications of the technology which has now become ubiquitous in modern society."

"A traditional Introduction to Digital Logic course can cover all of Chaps. 1, 2, 3,and 4, selections from Chap. 5, and then all of Chaps. 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 17,and maybe selections from Chap. 19. I happen to think Chaps. 15 and 18 are of vitalimportance, and the case study presented in Chap. 20 really ties the whole booktogether, but they are not included in every intro course. What this book adds thatothers in the field leave out, through Chaps. 9, 10, and 16, is more depth forapplications in the computing domain. They can be incorporated in an intro coursegeared towards computer engineers or computer scientists, and I have used thismaterial myself, but they can also benefit these students simply by being in the textas breadth and a good reference for later use even if not directly included in thecourse."

"The book is also useful for anyone interested in knowing how ethical and socialissues such as privacy, civil liberties, security, and anonymity, and workplace issuessuch as harassment and discrimination, are affecting the new computerizedenvironment."

"This book is a collection of refereed invited papers on the history of computing from the 1940s to the 1990s with one paper going back to look at Italian calculating/computing machines from the first century to the 20th century. The 22 papers cover a wide range of computing related topics such as specific early computer systems, their construction, their use and their users, software programming and operating systems, people involved in the theory, design and use of these computers, computer education, and conservation of computing technology.

"The book presents the state of the art and results and also includes articles pointing to future developments. Most of the articles center around the theme of linear partial differential equations. Major aspects are fast solvers in elastoplasticity, symbolic analysis for boundary problems, symbolic treatment of operators, computer algebra, and finite element methods, a symbolic approach to finite difference schemes, cylindrical algebraic decomposition and local Fourier analysis, and white noise analysis for stochastic partial differential equations. Further numerical-symbolic topics range from applied and computational geometry to computer algebra methods used for total variation energy minimization."

"This paper presents application of various Soft-computing control strategies for offline control of one wheel mobile robot (OWMR). The techniques considered for controlling were Fuzzy logic reasoning, Adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), and Neural networks (NNs). The study compares the performance of proposed techniques in terms of settling time, maximum overshoot, and steady state error. A Matlab-Simulink model of OWMR system has also been developed. The results obtained from simulation of fuzzy controller were used to train ANFIS and NNs controller. The simulation results showed better performance and learning ability of ANFIS controller compared to other two controllers. The results are shown with the help of graphs and tables to validate the proposed study."
