Description

Discover the elegant math behind modern AI and unlock the secrets of machine learning. This book explains the fundamental mathematical ideas that power the systems making life-altering decisions for us, from approving mortgage loans to determining the presence of cancer.

The technology is based on relatively simple mathematical concepts, some of which date back centuries, including linear algebra and calculus. The explosion of AI was ignited by the advancement of computer science and the development of 1990s computer chips designed for video games. This book reveals the profound capabilities and limitations of artificial intelligence, and how understanding its math can help us make safe and effective use of it.

Anil Ananthaswamy explores the intriguing links between artificial and natural intelligence, and whether the same math underpins both. With this enlightening book, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the math that makes machine learning possible, and the potential implications for our world.
