Mathematical Methods for...

Mark Hedges

Mathematical physics provides the essential framework for formulating and solving physical problems using mathematical methods. The foundations of mathematical physics are rooted in the application of mathematical structures, such as differential equations, linear algebra, and group theory, to describe the fundamental laws of nature. Physics relies heavily on mathematical formalism to express physical quantities, relationships, and conservation laws. The development of mathematical physics has enabled the discovery and prediction of new physical phenomena, from classical mechanics to quantum field theory.
The language of mathematical physics is built on the concept of physical observables represented by mathematical objects such as scalars, vectors, tensors, and operators. Scalars represent single-valued quantities, vectors represent quantities with both magnitude and direction, and tensors generalize vectors to higher dimensions. Operators, such as differential operators and linear operators, act on these mathematical objects to produce measurable physical outcomes.
Differential equations are central to mathematical physics, as they describe how physical quantities change with respect to one another. Ordinary differential equations (ODEs) govern the behavior of systems that depend on a single variable, such as the motion of a particle under a central force. Partial differential equations (PDEs) describe systems that depend on multiple variables, such as wave propagation and heat conduction. Solutions to differential equations provide the time evolution and spatial distribution of physical systems.

The Artifice of Intelligence -...

Noreen Herzfeld, Ted Peters

AI is becoming ubiquitous. Whatever its arrival portends for our future, whether riches or ruin, it cannot be avoided. The Artifice of Intelligence explores two questions at the heart of a theological response to AI. Is it possible for human beings to have authentic relationships with an AI? How does the increasing presence of AI change the way humans relate to one another? In pursuing answers to these questions, Herzfeld explores what it means to be created in the image of God and to create AI in our own image. It utilizes and expands Karl Barth's relational understanding of the imago Dei to examine humanity's relationship both with AI and, through it, with one another. 
 
 
 
Barth's injunctions—look the other in the eye (embodiment), speak to and hear the other (communication), aid the other (agency), and do it gladly (emotion)—provide the basis for the main chapters, each of which concludes with a case study of a current AI application that exemplifies the difficulties AI introduces into human relationality. The Artifice of Intelligence concludes with an examination of the incarnation, one that points toward the centrality of embodiment for full relationality.

How To Think About AI - A Guide...

Richard Susskind

In recent years, there has been massive public and professional interest in Artificial Intelligence. But people are confused about what AI is, what it can and cannot do, what is yet to come, and whether AI is good or bad for humanity and civilization—whether it will provide solutions to mankind's major challenges or become our gravest existential threat. There is also confusion about how we should regulate AI and where we should draw moral boundaries on its use. 
 
 
 
In How To Think About AI, Richard Susskind draws on his experience of working on AI since the early 1980s. For Susskind, balancing the benefits and threats of artificial intelligence is the defining challenge of our age. He explores the history of AI and possible scenarios for its future. His views on AI are not always conventional. He positions ChatGPT and generative AI as no more than the latest chapter in the ongoing story of AI and claims we are still at the foothills of developments. He argues that to think responsibly about the impact of AI requires us to look well beyond today's technologies, suggesting that not-yet-invented technologies will have far greater impact on us in the 2030s than the tools we have today. This leads Susskind to discuss the possibility of conscious machines, magnificent new AI-enabled virtual worlds, and the impact of AI on the evolution of biological humans.

Sisters of the Jungle - The...

Keriann McGoogan

Sisters of the Jungle explores the history of primatology, a rare scientific discipline led primarily by women, from pioneers like Jane Goodall and Dian Fossey to author Keriann McGoogan's own adventurous field studies. 
 
Since the 1970s, the science of primatology has been dominated by women—a unique reversal, as men usually outnumber women in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields. 
 
Today, one of those women is primatologist Keriann McGoogan, who has traveled to the far corners of the earth in search of wild primates. In Sisters of the Jungle, McGoogan combines stories about her own studies of howler monkeys (the loudest living primate) and lemurs (the most endangered group of animals on the planet) with those of the women who paved the way: intrepid scientists like Jane Goodall, Dian Fossey, Biruté Galdikas, and Alison Jolly who broke boundaries, made astonishing discoveries and ultimately shaped the trajectory of an entire branch of science.
