<br/><br/> 'Poems that Solve Puzzles' is the biography of an idea. The idea that algorithms - sequences of simple step-by-step instructions - can solve the most complex problems. It traces this idea from the earliest algorithms etched on clay tablets 4,000 years ago to the most recent discoveries in artificial intelligence and quantum computing.
