This book is an invaluable companion for anyone wishing to gain a deep understanding of the functioning of machine learning systems and artificial intelligence. Anil Ananthaswamy provides a rich and narrative explanation of the mathematics that led to machine learning and the ongoing explosion of artificial intelligence.

Machine learning systems are decisively affecting our lives, making decisions such as loan approvals or cancer tumor diagnosis. Their influence also extends to scientific discoveries in fields such as chemistry, biology, and physics, including studies involving genomes and extra-solar systems.

We are in the midst of a revolution in artificial intelligence, which is based on simple mathematics dating back centuries, such as linear algebra and calculus. Throughout this book, the author demonstrates that the foundations of physics and artificial intelligence may follow the same mathematical rules.

To harness our most wondrous technologies, it is essential to understand their deep limitations, and the clues lie in the mathematics that make artificial intelligence possible.
