Artificial Intelligence is transforming the modern world — but beneath the headlines about robots, automation, and smart machines lies something much simpler: the algorithm. These sets of rules, calculations, and logical steps are the beating heart of every intelligent system. In The Basics of AI Algorithms, Julian Vexley breaks down this vast and technical subject into ten clear, accessible chapters designed for the curious reader.

Savez-vous que le 34 avril est un jour très utile ? Que certains fleuves coulent de bas en haut ? Que la Lune tourne en ligne droite ? Que la couverture de ce livre est peut-être rouge ? Et que tout en lisant ces quelques lignes vous voyagez à la vitesse de 300 000 kilomètres par seconde ?

The aim of this book is to provide students all the tools they need to develop their problem solving skill. The book is easy to follow with little or no help. Each chapter begins with an explanation of concepts followed by examples. The examples serve as guide for solving the exercises at the end of each section. The review exercises provide additional practice.

Number theory is the branch of mathematics that is primarily concerned with the counting numbers. Of particular importance are the prime numbers, the "building blocks" of our number system. The subject is an old one, dating back over two millennia to the ancient Greeks, and for many years has been studied for its intrinsic beauty and elegance, not least because several of its challenges are so easy to state that everyone can understand them, and yet no one has ever been able to resolve them. But number theory has also recently become of great practical importance.

Freakonomics showed how economic calculations can explain seemingly counterintuitive decision-making. Thinking, Fast and Slow helped listeners identify a host of small cognitive errors that can lead to miscalculations and irrational thought. In What the Luck?, statistician and author Gary Smith sets himself a similar goal, and explains - in clear, understandable, and witty prose - how a statistical understanding of luck can change the way we see just about every aspect of our lives.

A fascinating guided tour of the complex, fast-moving, and influential world of algorithms - what they are, why they’re such powerful predictors of human behavior, and where they’re headed next. Algorithms exert an extraordinary level of influence on our everyday lives - from dating websites and financial trading floors, through to online retailing and internet searches - Google's search algorithm is now a more closely guarded commercial secret than the recipe for Coca-Cola.

Se trata de los números y los datos que manejan las estadísticas, indispensables en el relato con el que se construye hoy en día la actualidad política, económica y social. Y para comprender la realidad cambiante y compleja en la que vivimos no se necesita un doctorado en matemáticas. Basta un poco paciencia y sentido común, pero sobre todo, se requiere la curiosidad que Tim Harford, autor de El economista camuflado, sabe contagiar a sus lectores para observar el mundo con otros ojos.

Infinity and God have been close bedfellows over the recent millennia of human thought. But this is James A. Lindsay's point. These two ideas are thought, mere concepts. Lindsay shows in a concise and readable manner that infinity is an abstraction, and shows that, in all likelihood, so is God, particularly if he has infinite properties.

In this remarkable work, Dr. Ediho Lokanga, the author of the bestselling book, Digital Physics: The Meaning of the Holographic Universe and Its Implications Beyond Theoretical Physics, presents a synopsis of mathematical activities in Africa over the last few centuries. Relying on several historical works and direct knowledge of various academic sources, combined with his mathematical background, the author draws a rich picture of mathematical activity in Africa, stressing the critical and fundamental contributions made by ancient Africans in the field of mathematics. Beyond Eurocentrism: ...

Every day, we produce loads of data about ourselves simply by living in the modern world: we click web pages, flip channels, and shop with credit cards. Now, in one of the greatest undertakings of the 21st century, a savvy group of mathematicians and computer scientists is beginning to sift through this data to profile us as workers, shoppers, patients, voters, potential terrorists, even lovers. Their goal? To manipulate our behavior.

Organizations that are data-driven use data science to base every business choice on verifiable information derived from data. Organizations can accelerate the growth of their data-driven decision-making skills by using data science. It is a multidisciplinary field that necessitates substantial proficiency in the areas of mathematics, computer science, statistics, and particularly software engineering in order to draw insightful conclusions from data and enhance the decision-making abilities of businesses.

Some cryptography & security people talk about security, cryptography, and whatever else is happening.

Why do our friends have more friends than we do? Can simple maths help us with our self-esteem? And how can game theory offer solutions to the climate emergency? When we reason well, it is easier to be happy (and good and also, you know, right). But when dealing with others, it's not enough to be clever - you must be able to put yourself in the shoes of the clever person opposite you and think of what they might do. It's this insight that lies at the heart of Reason to Be Happy, whether you are dealing with the Cuban Missile Crisis or letting go of anger.
