Anil Ananthaswamy's book, "Why Machines Learn: The Elegant Math Behind Modern AI," attempts to explain how artificial intelligence (AI) works by scanning data for patterns and making predictions. However, the book's detailed breakdown of probability, principal component analysis, and eigenvectors may be difficult for readers without an advanced math degree to understand. While there are some interesting examples, such as how statisticians determined the authorship of the Federalist Papers, the book is primarily filled with complex equations and proofs. General readers may find it challenging to follow. [Extracted from the article]

The article discusses the 2013 Defence White Paper which provides information on the Australia's strategies for maintaining a capable Australian Defence Force (ADF). It informs that the White Paper doesn't discuss the less participation of local industries of Australia in manufacturing defence related products. It states that sustainment is not enough to develop experts in engineering and math's which has been recognized as a necessity by the Australian government for its defence capability.

The article offers solutions to the calculation problems of digital filtering. It is said that the necessity to calculate the integers instead of on floating-point numbers in digital filtering causes two problems. First, is the rounding-off error from the limited number of bits which can degrade the filter response or even make it unstable. Second, is the handling of the fractional values with integer math. Moreover, several ways of solving these issues are being presented on the paper.

This article presents an encounter of mathematician Ada, Countess of Lovelace with Charles Babbage, David Brewster and Charles Dickens in the 1800s. In February, Ada have gone to Babbage's house to show him her translation of Signor Menabrea's paper on the book, Analytical Engine, where she mentioned ideas about the generation of Bernoulli sequences. From his desk drawer, he produced a cylinder fashioned of brass that is about ten inches in length and two inches in diameter, with a graspable collar. A hole was drilled at one end; the other was covered with several translucent material. It is Sir David Brewster's instrument, and it produces symmetrical patterns when one claps the device to one's eye. In March, Ada had planned to tell Babbage about an extended system of instructing or programming that she had devised for the Analytical Engine.

The article describes the functions of Spice simulators. Types of tools of Spice simulators for voltage and current sources are independent, dependent, and behavioral. Behavioral sources are said to be the least-used sources but the most powerful. These sources can implement mathematical functions that correspond to those available on scientific calculators. Behavioral sources can also be used to test the mathematical viability of a design before the simulation of the circuit.
