Description: "The principles, methods and purposes of symbolic logic and
Boolean algebra, on which the programming of intelligent machines is based,
are explained in a practical manner by the author of 'Giant Brains' and
'Computers.' The book develops from answers to basic questions toward the
ideas and terms needed to understand the subject as a whole. The material on
symbolic logic abounds in comparisons and examples, as does the discussion of
intelligent machines. The design and principles of both small and large
machines are included, along with specific problems that confront these
machines. The role of symbolic logic in the programming of automatic
computers and such complex devices as robots completes this outstanding
book."
