The Beauty of Mathematics in Computer Science explains the mathematical fundamentals of information technology products and services we use every day, from Google Web Search to GPS Navigation, and from speech recognition to CDMA mobile services. The book was published in Chinese in 2011 and has sold more than 600,000 copies. Readers were surprised to find that many daily-used IT technologies were so tightly tied to mathematical principles. For example, the automatic classification of news articles uses the cosine law taught in high school.
The book covers many topics related to computer applications and applied mathematics including:
Natural language processing
Speech recognition and machine translation
Statistical language modeling
Quantitive measurement of information
Graph theory and web crawler
Pagerank for web search
Matrix operation and document classification
Mathematical background of big data
Neural networks and Google’s deep learning
