Algorithms to Live By
The Computer Science of Human Decisions
Book • 2016
In 'Algorithms to Live By: The Computer Science of Human Decisions', Brian Christian and Tom Griffiths illustrate how algorithms used by computers can be applied to various human problems.
The book covers topics such as the optimal stopping problem, sorting, caching, and randomness, providing practical advice on decision-making, managing time and resources, and understanding human cognition and behavior.
It emphasizes the importance of calculated risks, breaking down problems into manageable parts, and embracing randomness and uncertainty in decision-making processes.
