Publisher's summary

Discover How Algorithms Shape & Impact Our World

Now you might look at this title and shy away, thinking that an audiobook with "Algorithms" in its title must be just for techies and computer scientists. However this audiobook is very accessible to those with no background in computer science.

Decisions Oftentimes Have Optimal Solutions

Today, many decisions that could be made by human beings from predicting earthquakes to interpreting languages can now be made by computer algorithms with advanced analytic capabilities.

Everyday we make millions of decisions from selecting a life partner, to organizing your closet, to scheduling your life, to having a conversation.

However, these decisions may be imperfect due to limited experience, implicit biases, or faulty probabilistic reasoning.

Algorithms can better predict human behavior than trained psychologists and with much simpler criteria. Studies continue to show that the algorithms can do a better job than experts in a range of fields.

Artificial intelligence is reshaping healthcare, science, engineering and life. The results will make our lives more productive, better organized, and essentially, much happier.

Everywhere you look, artificial intelligence is beginning to permeate all types of industries and expectations are that it will continue to grow in the future.

Imagine The Possibilities

• More accurate medical diagnoses
• Better military strategies that could save lives
• Detect abnormal genes in an unborn child
• Predict changes in weather and earthquake
• Safer self-driving cars that have learned your personal preferences
• Analyze DNA samples and identify potential medical risks
• Smart homes that will anticipate your every needs
• Predicting where cyber hackers and online threats may occur

This is a must listen for anyone interested in what our digital future looks like. Start listening today.

Made Algorithms Interesting!

This audible provide foundation information regarding algorithms and their utilization in our increasingly technological world. To make the subject matter of Algorithms interesting for the beginner is afoot all on its own. I thought it was excellent and gave me a better idea of basic concepts and what’s to come in the future.

Must have for every software engineer

One of the best algorithm audio-books I have listen so far. Most algorithm audio-books I have listen so far delve in to the mathematical analysis and make it harder to understand a simple algorithm. This audio-book caters to the everyday programmers, is easy to understand and more practical choice.

Topic well covered

The topic was well covered and the terms were explained clearly. The reading was clear and enlivening.

Interesting Learning about Algorithms

An excellent book to learn about algorithms and makes it interesting. I was able to follow along and understand what was being explained. The only complaint I have is that the diagrams and examples should have a pdf of their own so the audiobook listener can see what is being referred to. Outside of that I now have a better understanding of AI and AGI. If you've ever wanted these concepts explained in as layman terms as they can be then you should check this book out but I'd suggest having at least the ebook on hand as well. The narration was well done. Jordan Gunner read at a nice pace and has a clean and clear voice.

I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Very good audio-book

I had purchased this a few years ago when I was still working on my computer science degree. Even though I am no longer in school for computer related things, I still find myself going back to this text for the mathematics that are in it. There are a lot of good examples and explanations of different algorithms.
