This book will challenge mathematical skills in a totally different way from the usual geometric puzzles. These 120 puzzles are visually intriguing. Mastering Geometry Puzzles has 5 chapters of puzzles, each one corresponding to a level of difficulty, from the very easy to the very hard. Even if mathematical puzzles are new to the reader, this book is a great place to start. Puzzle solving is not only fun; it will also enhance the reader's understanding of mathematics. More experienced puzzlers will also find very challenging opportunities. Puzzles should not only be fun in their design, but they should also be fun to solve. Their shape should be appealing to arouse curiosity in the reader. The information given to solve the puzzle should be as minimal as possible, sometimes to the point that the reader might think that it is not possible to solve it. This is part of the challenge of puzzles.

This book is an ambitious but optimistic treatment of the subject of topology. Not only does Elements of Topology: Theory and Practice, Second Edition treat the standard basic material on point-set topology, but it also gives an introduction to algebraic topology, a treatment of manifolds, a discussion of function spaces, and some ideas of knot theory. Even the exciting new topic of the Jones polynomial is covered. After discussing the key ideas of topology, the author examines the more advanced topics of algebraic topology and manifold theory. Topic coverage has been reduced in this second edition, and exercise sets have been added at the end of each section. The book as a whole - and the first two chapters in particular - offer many examples. Solutions to selected exercises are included at the end.

As Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data analytics reshape economies and societies, the promise of innovation is increasingly shadowed by concerns over inclusion, equity, and global justice. This accessible, interdisciplinary volume brings together established and emerging voices from across the world to critically examine issues lying at the intersection of innovation, intellectual property, and inequality in the age of Artificial Intelligence and Big Data. Featuring empirical studies, legal analyses, policy critiques, interdisciplinary perspectives, and global insights, Inclusive Innovation in the Age of AI and Big Data underscores the tremendous impact gender, race, and other socioeconomic factors have on innovation and intellectual property ecosystems. This volume also explores structural barriers in these ecosystems, diversity initiatives in the patent area, metrics for measuring inclusivity and diversity in innovation, changes brought about by AI and Big Data, and the evolution of the global innovation and intellectual property systems. Innovation is often celebrated as a catalyst for progress and prosperity, but it may also perpetuate exclusion. In the age of AI and Big Data, where technological change occurs at an unprecedented pace and scale, there is a high risk that the disparities caused by exclusion will be further entrenched and globalized.

AI and Business: Mapping the Present for Harnessing the Future addresses the growing need for businesses to not only understand but effectively implement Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a core component of their operational strategies. AI has quickly evolved from an experimental technology to a transformative tool reshaping the business landscape. While many organisations recognise its potential, numerous others struggle to integrate AI into their existing frameworks and align it with their strategic goals. This contributed work offers a comprehensive, practical guide for businesses seeking to implement AI across various functions, including marketing, finance, operations, and human resources, while highlighting the critical steps to bridge the gap between technology and effective business use. Through a blend of fundamental AI concepts such as Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and neural networks, alongside real-world case studies from industry leaders like Amazon, Google, IBM, and BOSH, the authors offer insights into how AI has catalysed transformation within these companies. By providing a balanced view of both the opportunities and challenges AI presents, it equips business professionals, leaders, and students with the tools and knowledge necessary to leverage AI for tangible, future-driven success.

This textbook is a real contribution to mathematical analysis, a discipline that requires a great deal of study and attention and finds interesting applications in many disciplines of sciences and engineering. This book is designed for undergraduate students in mathematics and engineering. From the first chapters, the book introduces real and complex numbers, the cornerstones of analysis. It explains in detail the properties of real numbers, such as the square root, absolute value. The analysis of sequences and series occupies a central place in this textbook. The reader discovers, step by step, the convergence through the study of real sequences, drawing on the concepts of Cauchy sequences and monotone sequences. The book also covers numerical series, presenting a variety of convergence criteria. The field of functions and asymptotic study of functions is treated with particular attention. The book contains proofs, numerous examples, and exercises with hints and solutions.

The AI Ideal: Aidealism and the Governance of AI offers an actionable vision for ensuring AI strengthens democracy, ethics, and human dignity. Instead of allowing AI to concentrate power in the hands of a few, the book argues for a new global framework―one where AI serves justice, enlightenment, and human betterment. Rooted in European Enlightenment ideals, Scandinavian social models and liberalism, and Swiss direct democracy, Aidealism rejects extreme ideologies and champions pragmatic, ethical, and forward-thinking solutions. From free education and healthcare to AI-driven economic justice and climate responsibility, this book explores how AI can help build a sustainable, free, and prosperous world. Covers the critical issue of values in AI use, which is important given the proliferation of Generative AI; Provides robust and broad education on what AI is and how it relates to history, science, philosophy, and politics, including challenges and how to mitigate tangible threats; Explains how AI, guided wisely, can make humanity nobler, wiser, better; Includes concrete prompts on precisely how to guide and build AI in an optimal, i.e., ideal way; Presents an ‘AI Ideal’ and frameworks for the cause of the positivistic and practical term ‘AIdealism.’

How do our brains give rise to our conscious minds? How do our minds learn and consciously experience miraculous creations of our civilizations, such as visual art, music, and the languages whose meanings enable us to think and communicate about our experiences in the world? How does human learning and language differ from some Artificial Intelligence algorithms that fail to explain how human minds work? Unlike these AI algorithms, whose flaws are explained in the book, human brains provide a blueprint for the paradigm of autonomous adaptive intelligence that promises to revolutionize all aspects of society during this century and beyond. This book provides an introductory and self-contained description of exciting answers to these questions that modern theories of mind and brain have proposed. Neural networks and AI are now very much in the news. They are once again a hot topic. I write “once again” because AI was over-hyped many years ago, by people like Marvin Minsky and Seymour Papert at MIT, until that AI bubble burst due to computational weaknesses of their hyped AI algorithms.
