The Beauty of Mathematics in Computer Science

The Beauty of Mathematics in Computer Science explains the mathematical fundamentals of information technology products and services we use every day, from Google Web Search to GPS Navigation, and from speech recognition to CDMA mobile services.The book was published in Chinese in 2011 and has sold more than 600,000 copies.Readers were surprised to find that many daily-used IT technologies were so tightly tied to mathematical principles.For example, the automatic classification of news articles uses the cosine law taught in high school. The book covers many topics related to computer applications and applied mathematics including: Natural language processingSpeech recognition and machine translationStatistical language modelingQuantitive measurement of informationGraph theory and web crawlerPagerank for web searchMatrix operation and document classificationMathematical background of big data Neural networks and Google’s deep learningJun Wu was a staff research scientist in Google who i
