John McCarthy died, world programmers
John McCarthy, he is a scientist, a creator, an important person in the computer programmer who does not know him.
day-to-day is the science which is the source program in creating groundbreaking programs on LIPS
John McCarthy, creator of LISP, one computer programming language, dies on Monday (10/24/2011) night. Information obtained from the daughter's death John unofficially and then published by Stanford University.
John is a scientist who won many awards, including the Turing Award from the Association of Computing Machinery (1971), Kyoto Prize (1988), the National Medal of Science (USA, 1991), and the Benjamin Franklin Medal of the Franklin Institute (2003).
John was born in Boston, September 4, 1927. He steeped mathematics as a teenager, using the books used by the California Institute of Technology. Two years later after he was accepted as a student, he managed to get through college quickly. John continued to go to college and received his PhD in mathematics from Princeton University in 1951. He married Vera Watson, programmers and mountaineer who died in 1978.
John became a full professor at Stanford University in 1962 and retired at the end of 2000. John did research about mathematical logic and artificial intelligence. In 1958 he started working on logic programming. In 1959 he developed the LISP programming language which later became the programming language of choice for applications of Al after being published in 1960. John also motivates the manufacture of MAC at MIT, and in 1962 he founded the Stanford laboratory of Al to support the MAC project.
LISP is a programming language family of the leading computer. LISP advantage lies in its ability to manipulate symbols and relationships antarsimbol easily so the language is suitable for use in the field of Artificial Intelligence (artificial intelligence) and decision making. However, this language can also be used to solve other problems.
During its development, LISP produce many variants and is the forerunner of many other languages (such as Logo and Smalltalk). On December 8, 1994 ANSI (American National Standard Institute) managed to standardize LISP, which is named ANSI Common LISP.
LISP is much different than with programming languages such as Pascal and C. After many uses LISP, programmers will be able to see or analyze a problem from a perspective that had not previously been imagined.
