However, this underlying math is hidden from us. That is mostly a good thing since we do not want to be solving equations and calculating fractions just to get things done in our everyday business. But the mathematical details do matter for anyone who wants to understand how stuff works, or wishes to create something new in the jungle of apps and algorithms. This book takes a look at the mathematical models behind weather forecasting, climate change prediction, artificial intelligence, medical imaging and computer graphics. The reader is expected to have only a curious mind; technical math skills are not needed for enjoying this text. 606 $aMathematics 606 $aMatemātica$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrōnics$2thub 615 0$aMathematics. 615 7$aMatemātica 676 $a510 700 $aSiltanen$b Samuli$0849826 702 $aSnellman$b Lauri 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910502614703321 996 $aStep into the world of mathematics$92882630 997 $aUNINA
