4th Estate The Creativity Code. How AI is learning to write, paint and think Дю Сотой Маркус

«Умение математиков заглядывать в будущее наделило тех, кто понимает язык чисел, огромным могуществом. От астрономов древних времен, способных предсказать движения планет в ночном небе, до сегодняшних управляющих хедж-фондами, прогнозирующих изменения цен на фондовом рынке, — все они использовали математику, чтобы постичь будущее. Сила математики в том, что она может гарантировать стопроцентную уверенность в свойствах мира». (Маркус дю Сотой). Профессор математики Оксфордского университета, заведующий кафедрой Симони, сменивший на этой должности Ричарда Докинза, Маркус дю Сотой приглашает вас в незабываемое путешествие по необычным и удивительным областям науки, лежащей в основе каждого аспекта нашей жизни

This new book from the author of 'The Music of the Primes' combines a personal insight into the mind of a working mathematician with the story of one of the biggest adventures in mathematics: the search for symmetry • This is the story of how humankind has come to its understanding of the bizarre world of symmetry – a subject of fundamental significance to the way we interpret the world around us • Our eyes and minds are drawn to symmetrical objects, from the sphere to the swastika, the pyramid to the pentagon. Symmetry indicates a dynamic relationship or connection between objects, and it is all-pervasive: in chemistry and physics the concept of symmetry explains the structure of crystals or the theory of fundamental particles; in evolutionary biology, the natural world exploits symmetry in the fight for survival; symmetry and the breaking of symmetry are central to ideas in art, architecture and music; the mathematics of symmetry is even exploited in industry, for example to find efficient ways to store more music on a CD or to keep your mobile phone conversation from cracking up through interference

The enormity of climate change and biodiversity loss can leave us feeling overwhelmed. How can an individual ever make a difference? • Isabella Tree and Charlie Burrell know firsthand how spectacularly nature can bounce back if you give it the chance. And what comes is not just wildlife in super-abundance, but solutions to the other environmental crises we face • The Book of Wilding is a handbook for how we can all help restore nature. It is ambitious, visionary and pragmatic. The book has grown out of Isabella and Charlie's mission to help rewild Britain, Europe and the rest of the world by sharing knowledge from their pioneering project at Knepp in Sussex. It is inspired by the requests they receive from people wanting to learn how to rewild everything from unprofitable farms, landed estates and rivers, to ponds, allotments, churchyards, urban parks, gardens, window boxes and public spaces

Britain's most famous mathematician takes us to the edge of knowledge to show us what we cannot know • Is the universe infinite? • Do we know what happened before the Big Bang? • Where is human consciousness located in the brain? • And are there more undiscovered particles out there, beyond the Higgs boson? • In the modern world, science is king: weekly headlines proclaim the latest scientific breakthroughs and numerous mathematical problems, once indecipherable, have now been solved. But are there limits to what we can discover about our physical universe? • In this very personal journey to the edges of knowledge, Marcus du Sautoy investigates how leading experts in fields from quantum physics and cosmology, to sensory perception and neuroscience, have articulated the current lie of the land

From the white noise of what-ifs to the white-hot terror of a full-blown crisis, 'Anti-guru' Sarah Knight is on hand to help you help yourself to manage any situation, however stressful. Through practical advice and guided interactive exercises, the Calm the F**k Down Journal is a place for you to ask and answer questions that may have been swirling around your brain like minnows on a meth bender. The Journal will help you learn how to stop dwelling on unlikely outcomes in favor of creating more likely ones. How to plow forward rather than agonize backward. And crucially, how to separate your anxiety about what might occur from the act of handling it when it does occur • Armed with this beautifully designed journal you will have ample calamity management tools at your fingertips to help you manage whenever the shit threatens to or already has hit the fan

How do you remember more and forget less? • How can you earn more and become more creative just by moving house? • And how do you pack a car boot most efficiently? • This is your shortcut to the art of the shortcut • Mathematics is full of better ways of thinking, and with over 2,000 years of knowledge to draw on, Oxford mathematician Marcus du Sautoy interrogates his passion for shortcuts in this fresh and fascinating guide. After all, shortcuts have enabled so much of human progress, whether in constructing the first cities around the Euphrates 5,000 years ago, using calculus to determine the scale of the universe or in writing today’s algorithms that help us find a new life partner • As well as looking at the most useful shortcuts in history – such as measuring the circumference of the earth in 240 BC to diagrams that illustrate how modern GPS works – Marcus also looks at how you can use shortcuts in investing or how to learn a musical instrument to memory techniques

The green movement has got it very wrong • Nature no longer controls our planet – it is humanity, ‘the god species’, that must save the environment we have inflicted unprecedented damage upon. And the tools we must use are the very technologies that environmentalist have told us for years will spell disaster: nuclear power, GM food and geo-engineering • In this blistering and urgent manifesto, Mark Lynas identifies a new future for the green movement and an entirely fresh agenda for how we will save the Earth, and ourselves

Prime numbers are the very atoms of arithmetic. They also embody one of the most tantalising enigmas in the pursuit of human knowledge. How can one predict when the next prime number will occur? Is there a formula which could generate primes? These apparently simple questions have confounded mathematicians ever since the Ancient Greeks • In 1859, the brilliant German mathematician Bernard Riemann put forward an idea which finally seemed to reveal a magical harmony at work in the numerical landscape. The promise that these eternal, unchanging numbers would finally reveal their secret thrilled mathematicians around the world. Yet Riemann, a hypochondriac and a troubled perfectionist, never publicly provided a proof for his hypothesis and his housekeeper burnt all his personal papers on his death

Выросшая на Фоллс-роуд в Белфасте 1990-х годов, Аликс О`Нил видела все это - сгоревшие автобусы, блокирующие дорогу в школу, полицию, принимающую ее отца за ведущего террориста, и одноклассницу, играющую в прятки с протезом ее отца... Не то чтобы она или ее друзья были в курсе того, что происходит в сопротивлении. Они слишком озабочены навязчивыми идеями каждой девочки-подростка - выпивкой, мальчиками и бойзоной, - чтобы беспокоиться о насилии у себя на пороге. Кроме того, странная бомба из кофейной банки - ничто по сравнению с драмой, которая вот-вот разразится в личной жизни Аликс • Теплый, смущающий и полный любви и проницательности "Неприятности с нами. Одна девушка из Белфаста о мальчиках, бомбах и поиске своего пути" - это история о безумии и обыденности жизни в Северной Ирландии во время тридцатилетнего конфликта
