The young German engineer Konrad Zuse, in his "Einführung in die allgemeine Dyadik" (1938), inspirated from Leibniz, proposed a "logistics math" that turned out to be equivalent to the propositional calculus and Boole’s algebra, of which he was aware only later thanks to his math teacher. Zuse therefore devised the Plankalkül as a universal, algorithmic, high-level language, suited to the formal representation and solution of extremely complex problems, such as algorithmic chess-playing against himself.

Abstract
The young German engineer Konrad Zuse, in his "Einführung in die allgemeine Dyadik" (1938), inspirated from Leibniz, proposed a "logistics math" that turned out to be equivalent to the propositional calculus and Boole’s algebra, of which he was aware only later thanks to his math teacher. Zuse therefore devised the Plankalkül as a universal, algorithmic, high-level language, suited to the formal representation and solution of extremely complex problems, such as algorithmic chess-playing against himself.File in questo prodotto:
