Mathematical intelligence : a story of human superiority over machines A fascinating exploration of a surprising advantage that humans have over our incoming robot masters: were actually good at maths. Theres so much talk about the threat posed by intelligent machines that it sometimes seems as though we should surrender to our robot overlords now. But Junaid Mubeen isnt ready to throw in the towel just yet. As far as he is concerned we have the edge over machines because of a remarkable system of thought developed over the millennia. Its familiar to us all but often badly taught and misrepresented in popular discourse maths. Computers are brilliant at totting up sums pattern seeking and performing well computation. For all things calculation machines reign supreme. But Junaid identifies seven areas of intelligence where humans can retain a crucial edge. And in exploring these areas he opens up a fascinating world where we can develop our uniquely human mathematical superpowers Publishers description
