Mathematical foundations
Hardback. Computation permeates our world, but a satisfactory philosophical theory of what it is has been lacking. Gualtiero Piccinini presents a mechanistic account of what makes a physical system a computing system. He argues that computation does not entail representation or information-processing, although information-processing entails computation. Num Pages: 336 pages. BIC Classification: PBB; PBC; UY. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 167 x 242 x 26. Weight in Grams: 652.
