商品描述
Computational Literacy for the Humanities provides an introduction to mathematics and programming that is specifically designed for use by those engaged in the humanities. Linking mathematical concepts and computational skills, the chapters in this book explore humanistic questions from diverse fields, such as art, history and literature.
The book helps to advance computational and digital literacy by showing that each mathematical concept has a history, and each technique has a meaning. Rather than viewing mathematics and computer programming as purely instrumental, they are integrated into the process of achieving greater understanding of humanistic phenomena. Algorithms, data, statistics and networks are taught critically within the book, whilst the authors also make a concerted effort to expose the internal biases of these tools. They also demonstrate the applicability of quantification and computation for the promotion of diversification and inclusivity within the humanities. All exercises are designed as an opportunity to gain hands-on mathematical and computational experience, whilst critically exploring and interpreting humanistic phenomena.
Computational Literacy for the Humanities shows readers how to engage with data in a way that is challenging, yet meaningful and empowering. It will be of interest to scholars and students working across the humanities and should be of particular interest to those working in digital humanities.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
《人文學科的計算素養》提供了一個專為人文學科從業者設計的數學和程式設計入門。這本書的各章節將數學概念與計算技能聯繫起來，探討來自藝術、歷史和文學等多個領域的人文問題。
本書通過展示每個數學概念都有其歷史，每種技術都有其意義，來促進計算和數位素養的提升。數學和電腦程式設計不僅僅被視為工具，而是融入了對人文現象更深刻理解的過程中。書中批判性地教授算法、數據、統計和網絡，同時作者也努力揭示這些工具的內部偏見。他們還展示了量化和計算在促進人文學科的多樣性和包容性方面的適用性。所有練習都設計為獲得實際數學和計算經驗的機會，同時批判性地探索和詮釋人文現象。
《人文學科的計算素養》向讀者展示了如何以具有挑戰性但又有意義和賦權的方式與數據互動。這本書將吸引在各個人文學科工作的學者和學生，特別是對於從事數位人文學科的工作者尤具吸引力。
作者簡介
Zef M. Segal is senior lecturer at the School of Media Studies at the College of Management Academic Studies. His research centers on 19th-century mobility, space, and communication, with a particular focus on the historical analysis of journals and maps. A strong advocate for the digital humanities and social sciences in Israel, he spearheaded the development of the Digital Humanities track at the Open University and was among the founding faculty members of the first Israeli bachelor's degree in Digital Humanities at the University of Haifa. His most recent publications include Motion in Maps, Maps in Motion (2020), and The Political Fragmentation of Germany (2019). His forthcoming book, Culture in the Age of the Enlightenment: Reshaping the Private Sphere, will be published in Hebrew by the Open University of Israel.
Nurit Melnik is a senior lecturer in linguistics at the Open University of Israel. Her studies focus on diverse topics: constructions and the relationship between form and meaning, agreement variations in Modern Hebrew, lexical and syntactic flexibility and "frozen" expressions, grammar engineering and the cognitive aspects behind language change. Her work is situated at the intersection of theoretical linguistics, computational linguistics and corpus linguistics.
