A fascinating exploration of how insights from computer algorithms can be applied to our everyday lives, helping to solve common decision-making problems and illuminate the workings of the human mind
All our lives are constrained by limited space and time, limits that give rise to a particular set of problems. What should we do, or leave undone, in a day or a lifetime? How much messiness should we accept? What balance of new activities and familiar favorites is the most fulfilling? These may seem like uniquely human quandaries, but they are not: computers, too, face the same constraints, so computer scientists have been grappling with their version of such issues for decades. And the solutions they've found have much to teach us.
In a dazzlingly interdisciplinary work, acclaimed author Brian Christian and cognitive scientist Tom Griffiths show how the algorithms used by computers can also untangle very human questions. They explain how to have better hunches and when to leave things to chance, how to deal with overwhelming choices and how best to connect with others. From finding a spouse to finding a parking spot, from organizing one's inbox to understanding the workings of memory, Algorithms to Live By transforms the wisdom of computer science into strategies for human living.

強烈推薦給非CS從業者:先以非常直觀的方式介紹算法,然後提升到哲學高度和你談人生。。。對於從業者來說也應該是不錯的消遣讀物
評分看到地老天荒,終於在早晨的船上看完瞭。。
評分適閤文科生,無編程基礎的人看。作者花瞭很大的精力請瞭一些算法如何在普通人生活中應用,對我有很多啓發。
評分關於算法的理性與感性,比如博弈論結尾這段兒:"The road to hell is paved with intractable recursions, bad equilibria, and information cascades, seek out games where honesty is the dominant strategy, then just be yourself."
評分"A fascinating exploration of how insights from computer algorithms can be applied to our everyday lives, helping to solve common decision-making problems and illuminate the workings of the human mind",確實如此,希望我本科時就讀過 (不過16年纔齣來呀...)
全书是算法入门,从生活中的各种问题说起:租房、谈恋爱、老虎机、拍电影、面试、买彩票、各种排序、找停车位、寻找新药、临床试验、奥巴马拉赞助、预估电影票房,讲数学家对这些问题的解决办法(也就是算法),一般从算法的由来开始说起,到现在的实际应用情况,还有各种变化...
評分有幸参与到吴晓波书友会打卡读书的团队中和小伙伴们一起读书,历时17天终于完完整整的读完《算法之美》这本很赞的书,没有间断,大部分是利用在往返北京的城际和地铁上的时间,感觉很好:开卷有益为一好,利用时间为二好,习惯坚持为三好! 《算法之美》这本书颠覆了我对很多算...
