The Science of Computing -...

Craig Dames

Computing has become an integral part of modern society, shaping various industries, scientific research, and everyday life. At its core, computing involves the use of computers and algorithms to process data, solve problems, and automate tasks. This chapter provides an overview of computing and the fundamental principles of computational thinking, which form the foundation for problem-solving in the digital age.
Computing encompasses both hardware and software components. Hardware refers to the physical devices, such as processors, memory units, and input/output devices, that perform computational tasks. Software, on the other hand, consists of programs and algorithms that instruct hardware on how to process information. The evolution of computing has led to significant advancements, from early mechanical calculators to modern high-performance computing systems capable of handling vast amounts of data.
Computational thinking is a problem-solving approach that involves breaking down complex problems into manageable parts, recognizing patterns, and developing step-by-step solutions. It consists of several key principles, including decomposition, abstraction, pattern recognition, and algorithm design. Decomposition involves dividing a problem into smaller, more manageable sub-problems. Abstraction focuses on identifying relevant details while ignoring unnecessary complexity. Pattern recognition allows problem solvers to identify similarities between different problems, enabling efficient solutions. Algorithm design involves creating a set of well-defined steps to achieve a specific outcome.

What Do Bees Think About?

Mathieu Lihoreau

Explore the mind of a bee and learn what drives its behavior. 
 
 
 
Have you ever observed a bee up close and wondered what was going on inside its head? Like ours, insects' brains take up most of the space in their heads, but their brains are smaller than a grain of rice, only 0.0002% as large as ours. But what purpose does the insect brain serve, and how does that drive their creativity, morality, and emotions? 
 
 
 
Bees in particular exhibit unexpected and fascinating cognitive skills. In What Do Bees Think About? animal cognition researcher Mathieu Lihoreau examines a century of research into insect evolution and behavior. He explains recent scientific discoveries, recounts researchers' anecdotes, and reflects on the cognition of these fascinating creatures. Lihoreau's and other scientists' research on insects reinforces the importance of protecting and preserving insects such as bees: after all, our survival on the planet is deeply dependent on theirs. This book provides an eye-opening window into the world of insect cognition and echoes an important ecological message about bees—they are intelligent creatures sharing the same fragile ecosystem as us.
