Steven Strogatz and Alex Townsend publish Big Math on math in the age of AI
Overview
Applied mathematicians Steven Strogatz and Alex Townsend have published Big Math: The Hidden Codes That Run Our World, according to Ars Technica.
The book examines how large language models, AI chatbots and quantum computing are outpacing the computers and people who built them, and asks what that means for mathematics and how people might adapt. Strogatz co-authored a 1998 paper with Duncan Watts on the collective dynamics of small-world networks.
