Paperback or Softback. Condición: New. The Embodied Mind: Unravelling Ai, Medicine, and Physics. Book.

Paperback. Condición: New. The Embodied Mind approaches AI and the modern revolutionary breakthroughs in medicine, biology, and physics in conversation with the role of the humanities. A mathematician, engineer, and physician, Professor Thanasis Fokas is interested in intensive and focused analysis of these fields: the achievements, uses, neurophysiology, and possible problems of AI; advances in immunology, cancer, and gene editing; the striking inventiveness of Einstein and the primacy of experimental physics; and, finally, the fundamental unconscious processes of the brain and the critical importance of sleep. Throughout the book, Fokas emphasises the crucial role of the arts and letters in today's society, which is increasingly driven towards mechanisation, where emotional and affectional aspects are ignored and emphasis is seemingly directed only towards purely algorithmic, machine-driven gadgets.No other book matches this title in its combination of breadth, depth, and interdisciplinary focus. Postgraduate researchers across a wide variety of fields will find cutting-edge discoveries presented with appropriate vigour, while general readers will be able to appreciate the nuances and complexities of the topics covered.What, if any, significant role will be left for humans to play in this anxious, unpredictable world of AI and robotics? Fokas distils the defining aspects of our modern condition to consider, suggest, and advise readers on ways to perceive and engage with the world, avoid catastrophe, and unravel our understandings of AI, medicine, and physics.…

Paperback. Condición: New. To comprehend the world around us, we first have to decipher how our brains work. This book outlines a new approach to knowledge and comprehension based on the elucidation of several basic neuronal mechanisms. It explores the crucial fact that unconscious processes and conscious experiences form a continuum and, importantly, introduces the concept of metarepresentations. This fundamental notion captures the essence of being human, namely, what separates us from our evolutionary predecessors. Important examples of metarepresentations are language, mathematics, technology and the arts. The interdisciplinary, integrative approach of this book demonstrates how different disciplines and notions which appear disconnected are actually closely related. Furthermore, this approach elucidates how we think about topics such as mathematics, physics, painting, music and philosophy. Most significantly, it helps us understand the origin of our thoughts, feelings and actions, bringing deep insight and fulfilment or, more precisely, eudemonia.…

Paperback. Condición: New. The study of complex variables is beautiful from a purely mathematical point of view, and very useful for solving a wide array of problems arising in applications. This introduction to complex variables, suitable as a text for a one-semester course, has been written for undergraduate students in applied mathematics, science, and engineering. Based on the authors' extensive teaching experience, it covers topics of keen interest to these students, including ordinary differential equations, as well as Fourier and Laplace transform methods for solving partial differential equations arising in physical applications. Many worked examples, applications, and exercises are included. With this foundation, students can progress beyond the standard course and explore a range of additional topics, including generalized Cauchy theorem, Painlevé equations, computational methods, and conformal mapping with circular arcs. Advanced topics are labeled with an asterisk and can be included in the syllabus or form the basis for challenging student projects.…
