Artificial intelligence is transforming our world, making life-altering decisions in fields such as medicine, finance, and scientific discovery. But what's behind this revolution? Anil Ananthaswamy reveals the fundamental maths that drives AI, tracing its roots back to 18th-century mathematics and the groundwork laid by the mid-19th century.

The story of AI's development is one of serendipity and innovation, from the early computer chips designed for video games to the breakthroughs in computer science that ignited the modern AI explosion. As Ananthaswamy explains, the maths behind AI holds the key to understanding its limitations and potential. By grasping these mathematical principles, we can unlock the full potential of our most wondrous technologies.

This enlightening book offers a fascinating exploration of the maths that makes AI possible, and the profound implications for our understanding of intelligence, both natural and artificial.
