When it comes to artificial intelligence, we hear either of a paradise on Earth or of our imminent extinction. It's time we stand faceto-digital-face with the true powers and limitations of the algorithms that already automate important decisions in healthcare, transportation, crime, and commerce.Hello World is indispensable preparation for the moral quandaries of a world run by code, and with the unfailingly entertaining Hannah Fry as our guide, we'll be discussing these issues long after the last page is turned."With refreshing simplicity, Fry explains what AI, machine learning and complicated algorithms really mean." -- Guardian"Fascinating and funny. I learned something on every page." -- Tom Chivers, BuzzFeed"An action- packed read during which you will be outraged, provoked, and challenged." -- Cathy O'Neil, author of Weapons of Math Destruction

In both engineering and medical applications it is often useful to use the knowledge of the conditions under which adhering liquid droplets appear, deform and interact with surrounding fluids, in order to either remove or create them. Examples include the de-wetting of aircraft surfaces and the process of injecting glue into the bloodstream in the treatment of aneurysms. In this study, we look at various methods of modelling a particular class of droplets - those attached to a wall in the presence of an external shear flow.

In this must-have for anyone who wants to better understand their love life, a mathematician pulls back the curtain and reveals the hidden patterns--from dating sites to divorce, sex to marriage--behind the rituals of love. The roller coaster of romance is hard to quantify; defining how lovers might feel from a set of simple equations is impossible. But that doesn't mean that mathematics isn't a crucial tool for understanding love. Love, like most things in life, is full of patterns. And mathematics is ultimately the study of patterns--from predicting the weather to the fluctuations of the stock market, the movement of planets or the growth of cities. These patterns twist and turn and warp and evolve just as the rituals of love do. In The Mathematics of Love, Dr. Hannah Fry takes the reader on a fascinating journey through the patterns that define our love lives, applying mathematical formulas to the most common yet complex questions pertaining to love: What's the chance of finding love? What's the probability that it will last? How do online dating algorithms work, exactly? Can game theory help us decide who to approach in a bar? At what point in your dating life should you settle down? From evaluating the best strategies for online dating to defining the nebulous concept of beauty, Dr. Fry proves--with great insight, wit, and fun--that math is a surprisingly useful tool to negotiate the complicated, often baffling, sometimes infuriating, always interesting, mysteries of love.

An algorithm is more consistent and less prone to error of judgement. Yet a human can look you in the eye before passing sentence.Welcome to the age of the algorithm, the story of a not-too-distant future where machines rule supreme, making important decisions - in healthcare, transport, finance, security, what we watch, where we go even who we send to prison. So how much should we rely on them? What kind of future do we want?Hannah Fry takes us on a tour of the good, the bad and the downright ugly of the algorithms that surround us. In Hello Worldshe lifts the lid on their inner workings, demonstrates their power, exposes their limitations, and examines whether they really are an improvement on the humans they are replacing.

Hannah Fry tar oss med på en rundtur på godt og på vondt i algoritmenes verden, den verden vi faktisk lever i. I Hallo, verden viser hun oss algoritmenes indre verden, viser frem makten de har, og spør om de virkelig er en forbedring for menneskene de erstatter.Tenk om du ble anklaget for en forbrytelse, hvem ville du skulle avgjort dommen din - en matematisk konsistent algoritme som ikke er i stand til å føle empati eller en medfølende menneskelig dommer som kan skille galt fra rett? Hva om du vil kjøpe en førerløs bil og må velge mellom en som er programmert for å redde så mange liv som mulig og en annen som prioriterer livene til sine passasjerer?Dette er bare noen av dilemmaene vi begynner å møte når vi nærmer oss algoritmealderen, et samfunn der maskinene styrer. Allerede nå forteller algoritmene oss hva vi skal se på TV og internett, hvor vi skal gå i byene, og mye mer. Men når vi blir avhengige av algoritmer for å ta store, viktige avgjørelser - innen rettsvesen, helsevesen, transport og finans - reises de store spørsmålene om hvordan vi vil at verden skal se ut.
