Kiev: State Technical Press of Ukrainian SSR, 1954. Very Good condition. SEE PHOTOS. 14 cm x 21 cm. A solid copy. Square and tight. Minor bumps/rubbing to corners. Inner hinges are sound. Pages are clean, crisp, and unmarked. This is the original 1954 Russian language edition. Since our book listing service does not offer the capability to enter titles using the Cyrillic alphabet, the bibliographical data given above are based on an automated translation from the Russian using Babel Fish (Altavista). Bound in the original blue boards with a blue cloth spine, lettered in shiny gold. The author, A. G. Ivakhnenko, was born in the Ukraine in 1913. This book is one of his earliest publications (probably the 3rd). With more than 30 monographs and over 400 published scientific articles to his credit, Professor Ivakhnenko has made numerous major contributions to the fields of cybernetics, automatic control, adaptive learning systems, and infomatics. His most influential invention is probably the Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH), also known as Polynomial Neural Networks. GMDH is widely used to identify unknown relationships of complex systems to solve a multitude of problems in medicine, business, sociology, and other fields. Ivakhnenko also developed the algorithms on which the artificial intelligence tool KnowledgeMiner is based, and was chief editor of the journal Avtomatika. [This copy is one of several dozen books from Alonzo Church's library that we were lucky enough to purchase at auction in New Jersey. Several of the books contain his signature, or a presentation inscription to him. Unfortunately, this copy does not have those signs of his ownership. [But please check our inventory for several others that do]. However, there is a paper laid-in with bibliographic data concerning the book that appears to be written in Dr. Church's hand. Alonzo Church (1903 - 1995) was professor of mathematics at Princeton University (1929-1967) and of mathematics and philosophy at UCLA (1967-1990). He was the founding editor of the JOURNAL OF SYMBOLIC LOGIC. Among his most influential contributions are Church's Theorem, Church's Thesis, and the Lambda Calculus. His work was of major importance in mathematical logic, recursion theory, theoretical computer science, and functional programming languages in general. Professor Church's creation of lambda calculus was the foundation for the LISP programming language and provided the semantic model for ALGOL. He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences, British Academy, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Church is regarded by many as the greatest American logician of the 20th century]. [For more on Church's contributions, see items 250, 251, 321, 394, and 533 in Hook and Norman's ORIGINS OF CYBERSPACE, A LIBRARY ON THE HISTORY OF COMPUTING.]. First Edition. Hardcover.
