Shame is a powerful and sometimes useful tool: When we publicly shame corrupt politicians, abusive celebrities, or predatory corporations, we reinforce values of fairness and justice.

We are living through a revolution in artificial intelligence that is not slowing down. This major shift is based on simple mathematics, some of which goes back centuries: linear algebra and calculus, the stuff of eighteenth-century mathematics. Indeed by the mid-1850s, a lot of the groundwork was all done. In this enlightening book, Anil Ananthaswamy explains the fundamental maths behind AI, which suggests that the basics of natural and artificial intelligence might follow the same mathematical rules.

What if everything in the universe — light, matter, gravity, and even time — was made from one simple thing: a thread? The Threads and Luxidoni Light Theory, Described in Plain English, presents a bold, visual rethinking of how the universe works—without math, jargon, or the paradoxes found in modern physics. This book introduces a new model of reality based on just two components: A single continuous thread that forms all matter and structure, And Luxidoni, tiny rotating units of energy that travel along this thread.Through this structural lens, the book explains: How light is made ...

Starting with hands, abacus, and slide rule, humans have always reached for tools to simplify math. Pocket-sized calculators ushered in modern mathematics, helped build the atomic bomb, took us to the bottom of the ocean, and accompanied us to the moon. The pocket calculator changed our world, until it was supplanted by more modern devices that, in a cruel twist of irony, it helped to create. Keith Houston transports listeners from the nascent economies of the ancient world to World War II, and into the technological arms race that led to the first affordable electronic pocket calculators.

If you need to learn how to use machine learning, big data, data science, and neural networks but you can’t (or there is no time to) study the complicated math and algorithms behind these technologies, then keep reading. All technologies related to artificial intelligence represent an incredible opportunity if you want to grow your business or if you are searching for a new job, but it’s not very easy to understand how they work.

From the moment we take our first breath to our last, our capacity to learn remains one of our most profound gifts. Welcome to the journey of lifelong learning, where the pursuit of knowledge is not a race to a finish line, but a never-ending path of growth and discovery. ...

America has been steadily sliding in global education rankings for decades. In particular, our students are increasingly unable to compete globally in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) fields. According to the National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP), in 2010 only 26 percent of high school seniors in the U.S. scored at or above proficient level in math. Another 36 percent were failing.

The current school system churns out millions of illiterates and mental zombies—but here's how we're going to fix it, starting today. Coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic, parents across the nation grapple with a new and horrifying understanding of just how bad our educational system has become. It all adds up to a system that seems hopelessly, terribly, and irrevocably broken.

American democracy is at risk. Fueled by partisan news and emotion-stoking social media, Americans are becoming less and less able to think rationally about the challenges facing the country. For self-governance to succeed, citizens must analyze issues objectively, engage with one another respectfully, and ground their disagreements in reason and facts. At this precarious moment in our history, we need a renaissance in critical thinking. It can start in the math classroom.
