Charles Babbage and Difference Enginge No. 2 | Doron Swade | Talks at Google
推荐理由
Babbage historian Doron Swade's discussion of her insight into potential applications of the Analytical Engine beyond numeric calculation
说明
这是2008年由Talks at Google发布的一部演讲,主题归在History of computing。它讲的是history of computing这一支里的具体问题,而不是把整个领域扫一遍。适合按兴趣直接看、不打算先补课的人。内容上可以概括成:Historian Doron Swade tells the story of Charles Babbage's quest to build the Difference Engine and the construction of Difference Engine No. 2 at the Science Museum. The talk covers Babbage's motivation, his machines and Ada Lovelace's insight into the Analytical Engine.这些读者给出的理由,核心是:HN commenters link it as a source on Babbage's machines, especially for the section around minute 36 on Ada Lovelace's insight beyond numeric computation.讲法不绑某一条新闻,过几年仍然可以当材料看。从2012年到2022年,有1位不同的读者在1个不同月份把它推荐出来,其中明确叫别人去看的有0次。适合一次性看完。讲者把一个判断讲透,演示是在给这个判断配例子。如果已经会了基本定义,就把注意力放在它怎么把history of computing变成能跟着复述的例子。
