Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Catalán. L ordinador i el cervell, de J. von Neumann (1957), i Els ordinadors i la intel ligència, d A. M. Turing (1950). dos textos complementaris són el fruit de la saviesa que aquests grans matemàtics havien acumulat sobre els camins paral lels de la neurociència i la informàtica. Es tracta de dues reflexions molt lúcides sobre la incipient informàtica de mitjan segle xx. Si bé hem de reconèixer que conceptes tan ambiciosos com cervell electrònic i intel ligència artificial en què indubtablement es fonamenten les idees de Von Neumann i Turing no han permès de crear enginys dotats d intel ligència artificial, tanmateix cal admetre que en altres aspectes la informàtica actual ha superat àmpliament les expectatives que fa cinquanta anys generaren les seves aportacions. Gràcies als treballs de Von Neumann i Turing, la potència de càlcul i de memòria dels ordinadors actuals pot començar a suplir les mancances del procés cognitiu humà. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Otros. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: Nuevo. 01. En 1947 Alan M. Turing pronunció una conferencia ante un auditorio compuesto en su mayor parte por miembros del National Physical Laboratory de Londres en la que intentaba responder a la vieja y controvertida pregunta Puede pensar una máquina? . . . . . . Lo expuesto en ese acto apareció publicado tres años más tarde en Mind ?una importante revista de filosofía británica? y es lo que ofrecemos aquí al lector en su traducción castellana. Este texto se convirtió enseguida en uno de los escritos fundacionales de la lógica informática y la inteligencia artificial, al presentar las líneas generales por las que debería discurrir una respuesta precisa y manejable (aunque no indiscutible) a la pregunta formulada. . . . . . . Se trata del famoso Test de Turing, una prueba para decidir si una máquina es inteligente (o ?piensa?). Para ello Turing diseñó un juego de imitación en el que participan una máquina y seres humanos; podemos decir que una máquina piensa si un ser humano que se comunica con la máquina y con otros seres humanos no logra distinguir cuando su interlocutor es una máquina y cuando un humano. . . Una ?máquina de Turing? como la que participa en el juego, es un dispositivo ideal de cálculo, capaz de resolver una función computable ?una función cuya solución es susceptible de ser obtenida por un procedimiento mecánico? . . . . . . . Pero lo más significativo es que Turing demostró que hay una máquina peculiar ?la máquina universal de Turing? en la que se puede representar cualquier máquina que sea capaz de computar una función particular. De acuerdo con esto, una máquina universal de Turing sería una especie de sistema operativo en el que se implementan diferentes programas (máquinas de Turing especiales), un poco a la manera en que nos es familiar en los ordenadores personales. La denominada ?metáfora del ordenador? como modelo capaz de simular la mente humana y, por ende, el pensar, tiene aquí su fuente. LIBRO.

'Volume 10 in the Babbage Reprint Series contains two archival papers by Alan Turing-the ACE report (1945), a seminal paper detailing the design for an electronic universal machine called the Automatic Computing Engine (ACE), and Turing's Lecture to the London Mathematical Society (1947) amplifying the ideas outlined in the ACE report. Turing's report was the first time that the notion of artificial intelligence was discussed as a real possibility and Turing went on to devote the next decade to AI. Michael Woodger's paper, The History and Present Use of Digital Computers at the National Physical Laboratory (1958) gives a brief history of the construction of the pilot ACE, the first functional version of Turing's universal machine' (MIT Press Web site).

Book First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. First edition, two journal issues in original printed wrappers, of Turing's papers on Church's type theory. "Church's type theory is a formal logical language which includes first-order logic, but is more expressive in a practical sense. It is used, with some modifications and enhancements, in most modern applications of type theory. It is particularly well suited to the formalization of mathematics and other disciplines and to specifying and verifying hardware and software" (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy). Turing's interest in logic and computation began when he attended the lectures of Max Newman at Cambridge in 1935. This led, two years later, to the publication of his great work 'On computable numbers, with an application to the Entscheidungsproblem,' which included the introduction of the universal Turing machine. Following this, "most of Alan's efforts were directed towards a new formulation of the theory of types. Russell had regarded types as rather a nuisance, adopted faute de mieux in order to save Frege's set theory. Other logicians had felt that a hierarchy of logical categories was really quite a natural idea, and that it was the attempt to lump together every conceivable entity into 'sets' that was strange. Alan inclined to the latter view. He would prefer a theory with the way in which mathematicians actually thought, and which worked in a practical way. He also wanted to see mathematical logic used to make the work of mathematicians more rigorous . . . His own efforts to bridge the gap began with an attempt 'to put the theory of type into a form in which it can be used by the mathematician-in-the-street without having to study mathematical logic, much less use it . . . The type principle is effectively taken care of in ordinary language by the fact that there are nouns as well as adjectives. We can make the statement 'All horses are four-legged', which can be verified by examination of every horse, at any rate if there are only a finite number of them. If however we try to use words like 'thing' or 'thing whatever' trouble begins. Suppose we understand thing to include everything whatever, books, cats, men, women, thoughts, functions of men with cats as values, numbers, matrices, classes of classes, procedures, propositions . . . Under these circumstances what can be made of the statement 'All things are not prime multiples of 6'. What do we mean by it? Under no circumstances is the number of things to be examined finite. It may be that some meaning can be given to statements of this kind, but for the present we do not know of any. In effect then the theory of types requires us to refrain from the use of such nouns as 'thing', 'object', etc., which are intended to convey the idea of 'anything whatever'. The technical work of separating mathematical 'nouns' from 'adjectives' was based upon that of Church, whose lectures he had followed at Princeton, and who published a description of his type theory in 1940. Part of Alan's work was done in collaboration with Newman through correspondence; their joint paper [i.e. I] being received at Princeton on 9 May 1941. It must have crossed the Atlantic just as the München was captured. Alan produced a further paper of a highly technical nature, 'The use of dots as brackets in Church's system,' and submitted it just a year later (Hodges, Alan Turing, pp. 215-6).[Paper II] "shows once again Turing's ability to reason about important issues in computer science before there were digital computers to reason about. In this case, Turing essentially studies an important aspect of programming languages, a syntax for trees. In short, Turing's dots gave him a way to think about the order of operations in a structure that was more intuitive to him, to prepare him for planned further work on Church's lambda-calculus" (Lance Fortnow, in Alan Turing: his work and impact, pp. 227-8). Two complete journal issues in original printed wrappers. Very good.

First edition. TURING AND THE SECRET OF LIFE. First edition of the extremely rare true offprint (without price to front wrapper), of Turing's last major published work, which was "in every respect ahead of its time" (Copeland, p. 510). Taking his cue from the zoologist D'Arcy Thompson, who held that the forms of living things are to be explained in terms of the operation of physical forces and mathematical laws, Turing presents here the first mathematical theory of embryology. "At a time when Crick and Watson were using X-ray diffraction to establish the structure of DNA, Turing was grappling with a theoretical understanding of how information might be spread and diffused at a chemical level. In a classic statement of the scientific method Turing wrote: 'a mathematical model of the growing embryo will be described. This model will be a simplification and an idealisation, and consequently a falsification. It is to be hoped that the features retained for discussion are those of greatest importance in the present state of knowledge'. The result was applied mathematics par excellence. Just as the simple idea of the Turing machine had sent him into fields beyond the boundaries of Cambridge mathematics, so now this simple idea in physical chemistry took him into a region of new mathematical problems" (Hodges, p. 434). "Alan Turing's paper, 'The chemical basis of morphogenesis,' has been hugely influential in a number of areas. In this paper, Turing proposed that biological pattern formation arises in response to a chemical pre-pattern which, in turn, is set up by a process now known as diffusion-driven instability. The genius of this work was that he considered a system which was stable in the absence of diffusion and then showed that the addition of diffusion, which is naturally stabilising, actually caused an instability. Thus, it was the integration of the parts that was as crucial to the understanding of embryological development as the parts themselves - patterns emerged or self-organised as a result of the individual parts interacting. To see how far ahead of his time he was, one has to note that it is only now in the post-genomic era of systems biology that the majority of the scientific community has arrived at the conclusion he came to 60 years ago . Applications of Turing's work to developmental biology are too numerous to list but include limb development, pigmentation patterning, hair and feather germ formation, tooth morphogenesis, phyllotaxis, hydra patterning and regeneration. Moreover, ideas of self-organization now abound in biology, chemistry and ecology. The stimulus for a lot of this work stems from Turing's original ideas. Although still very controversial, Turing's theory for morphogenesis provided a paradigm shift in our way of thinking" (Maini, in Alan Turing: his work and impact, p. 684). There are two separate issues of 'The chemical basis of morphogenesis', the genuine author's presentation offprint offered here, and a commercially produced reprint; the latter differs from the former only in the presence of a price (eight shillings) at the foot of the front wrapper. ABPC/RBH records the sale of only one copy of this offprint (Christie's, June 12, 2013, lot 136, £13,125) Provenance: Owner's name written in ink to upper right corner of front wrapper; botanist Otto L. Stein (1925-2014). The offprint is accompanied with a signed typed letter from 1956 by R.A. Brooker at the Computing Machine Laboratory Manchester in reply to Stein's request to Turing for a copy of the offprint. "Alan had thought about embryology all the time, fascinated by the fact that how such growth was determined was something 'nobody has yet made the smallest beginnings at finding out.' There had been little advance since Growth and Form [by D'Arcy Thomspon], the 1927 classic that he had read before the war. "The greatest puzzle was that of how biological matter could assemble itself into patterns which were so enormous compared to the size of the cells. How could an assemblage of cells 'know' that it must settle into a five-fold symmetry, to make a starfish? How could the Fibonacci pattern of a fir-cone be imposed in its harmonious, regular way upon a growing plant? How could matter take shape or, as biological Greek had it, what was the secret of morphogenesis? Suggestive words like 'morphogenetic field', vague as the Life Force, were employed by biologists to describe the way that embryonic tissue seemed to be endowed with an invisible pattern which subsequently dictated its harmonious development. It had been conjectured that these 'fields' could be described in chemical terms - but there was no theory of how this could be. Polanyi believed that there was no explanation except by a guiding esprit de corps; the inexplicability of embryonic form was one of his many arguments against determinism. Conversely, Alan told Robin [Gandy] that his new ideas were intended to 'defeat the Argument from Design'. "There were other suggestions in the literature for the nature of the 'morphogenetic field', but at some point Alan decided to accept the idea that it was defined by some variation of chemical concentrations, and to see how far he could get on the basis of that one idea. [The problem was] to discover circumstances in which a mixture of chemical solutions, diffusing and reacting with each other, could settle into a pattern, a pulsating pattern of chemical waves; waves of concentration into which the developing tissue would harden; waves which would encompass millions of cells, organising them into a symmetrical order far greater in scale. "There was one central, fundamental problem. It was exemplified in the phenomenon of gastrulation. in which a perfect sphere of cells would suddenly develop a groove, determining the head and tail ends of the emergent animal. The problem was this: if the sphere were symmetrical, and the chemical equations were symmetrical, without knowledge of left or right, up or down, where did th.
