Summary of Hannah Fry's Hello World

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The IBM team that designed Deep Blue made the brilliant decision to design the machine to appear more uncertain than it was. During the six-game match, the machine would occasionally hold off from declaring its move for several minutes. From Kasparov’s end of the table, the delays made it look as if the machine was struggling.

#2 The story of Deep Blue defeating the great grandmaster Garry Kasparov demonstrates that the power of an algorithm isn’t limited to what is contained within its lines of code. Understanding our own flaws and weaknesses is the key to remaining in control.

#3 Algorithm is a term that is used frequently but fails to convey much actual information. It is typically used to describe a series of logical instructions that show, from start to finish, how to accomplish a task. But in reality, algorithms are almost always mathematical objects that take a sequence of mathematical operations and turn them into computer code.

#4 Algorithms are designed to remove some information to focus on what’s important. They do this by filtering through possible routes, connections, and outcomes, and selecting the best one.
