Every day, Stéphane Place offers you a literature break, in partnership with the Librairie Mollat de Bordeaux. Today, On the other side of the machine by Aurélie Jean.
The algorithm is a term that bears its share of mystery, a bit like a magic formula that is both tempting and frightening. In general, without knowing how to define it well, we think of computer applications, and of these algorithms that would influence our choices, which would even dominate us, a devious manipulation. Actually, the science of algorithms is much older, the word itself, we owe it to a Persian mathematician of the ninth century. On the other side of the machine, a scientist's journey to the land of algorithms that we owe to Aurélie Jean, a researcher allows us to learn more. Géraldine Lafond, bookseller at Mollat, recommends that you read this book.
