Description: Mathematical Intelligence : A Story of Human Superiority over Machines, Hardcover by Mubeen, Junaid, ISBN 1639362568, ISBN-13 9781639362561, Brand New, Free shipping in the US A fresh explorationinto the human nature versus technologyargument,revealing anunexpected advantage that humans have over our future robot masters: were actually good at mathematics. Theres so much discussion about the threat posed by intelligent machines that it sometimes seems as though we should simply surrender to our robot overlords now. But Junaid Mubeen isnt ready to throw in the towel just yet. As far as he is concerned, we have the creative edge over computers, because of a remarkable system of thought that humans have developed over the millennia. Its familiar to us all, but often badly taught in schools and misrepresented in popular discoursemath. Computers are, of course, brilliant at totting up sums, pattern-seeking, and performing mindless tasks of, well, computation. For all things calculation, machines reign supreme. But Junaid identifies seven areas of intelligence where humans can retain a crucial edge. And in exploring these areas, he opens up a fascinating world where we can develop our uniquely human mathematical talents. Just a few of the fascinating subjects covered in MATHEMATICAL INTELLIGENCE include: -Humans are endowed with a natural sense of numbers that is based on approximation rather than precise calculation. Our in-builtestimationskills complement the precision of computers. Interpreting the real world depends on both. -What sets humans apart from other animals is language and abstraction. We have an extraordinary ability to create powerfulrepresentationsof knowledge more diverse than the binary language of computers. -Mathematics confers the most robust, logical framework for establishing permanent truths.Reasoningshields us from the dubious claims of pure pattern-recognition systems. -All mathematical truths are derived from a starting set of assumptions, or axioms. Unlike computers, humans have the freedom to break free of convention and examine the logical consequences of our choices. Mathematics rewards ourimaginationwith fascinating and, on occasion, applicable concepts that originate from breaking the rules. -Computers can be tasked to solve a range of problems, but which problems are worth the effort?Questioningis as vital to our repertoire of thinking skills as problem-solving itself.
