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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book covers many topics related to computer applications and applied mathematics including: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNatural language processing\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpeech recognition and machine translation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStatistical language modeling\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eQuantitive measurement of information\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGraph theory and web crawler\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePagerank for web search\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMatrix operation and document classification\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMathematical background of big data \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeural networks and Google’s deep learning\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eJun Wu was a staff research scientist in Google who invented Google’s Chinese, Japanese, and Korean Web Search Algorithms and was responsible for many Google machine learning projects. He wrote official blogs introducing Google technologies behind its products in very simple languages for Chinese Internet users from 2006-2010. The blogs had more than 2 million followers. Wu received PhD in computer science from Johns Hopkins University and has been working on speech recognition and natural language processing for more than 20 years. He was one of the earliest engineers of Google, managed many products of the company, and was awarded 19 US patents during his 10-year tenure there. Wu became a full-time VC investor and co-founded Amino Capital in Palo Alto in 2014 and is the author of eight books.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57310896226686,"sku":"NW9781138049604","price":35.78,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781138049604.jpg?v=1778550615","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/beauty-of-mathematics-in-computer-scienc","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
