Application areas range from search engines to tournament scheduling, DNA sequencing, and machine learning.

He then presents larger-scale applications: PageRank, Google's founding algorithm; and neural networks and deep learning.

The primary aim of its well-known authors is to provide a solid and relevant base of mathematical skills - the skills needed to solve complex problems, to evaluate horrendous sums, and to discover subtle patterns in data. It is an indispensable text and reference not only for computer scientists - the authors themselves rely heavily on it! - but for serious users of mathematics in virtually every discipline. Concrete Mathematics is a blending of CONtinuous and disCRETE mathematics. \"More concretely,\" the authors explain, \"it is the controlled manipulation of mathematical formulas, using a collection of techniques for solving problems.\" The subject matter is primarily an expansion of the Mathematical Preliminaries section in Knuth's classic Art of Computer Programming, but the style of presentation is more leisurely, and individual topics are covered more deeply. Several new topics have been added, and the most significant ideas have been traced to their historical roots. The book includes more than 500 exercises, divided into six categories. Complete answers are provided for all exercises, except research problems, making the book particularly valuable for self-study.

In \u003ci\u003eThe Delicate Art of Brute Force\u003c\/i\u003e, Paul Nahin shows how even if you can't solve such a problem, you can still get an answer. The computational power of your own computer--the desktop in your home office, the laptop on your coffee table--can be deployed to overwhelm a problem's complexity through a massive number-crunching assault. Nahin presents a series of apparently intractable math problems and shows the thought process that allows computational solution. Most of the problems are not abstract constructions but originate in the real world--one chapter is titled \"How Wi-Fi Coverage and Anti-Submarine Warfare Are the Same.\" For each one, Nahin compares computational and analytical approaches, demonstrating how well the computer solutions agree with theory. As a bonus, sometimes the computational solution is better, giving more insight or greater flexibility. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlong the way, Nahin traces the evolution of high-speed electronic computation, explaining that it upended the way analysts approach complex math problems. After the postwar debut of ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer) and the ever more powerful electronic computers that came afterward, problems that were simply too difficult or messy for analytical treatment could be defeated by the application of pure brute force--the ability of computers to perform an enormous number of simple operations in just minutes. Today, we can harness that computational power from our couches.

The book tells a clear engineering story: start with a conventional pre-trained LLM, learn how text generation works, build reliable evaluation tools, improve reasoning through inference-time methods, then move into training-based approaches such as reinforcement learning and distillation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe progression is deliberate. Early chapters establish the baseline model and explain text generation, KV caching, and evaluation with math verifiers. The middle chapters show how reasoning can be improved without changing model weights, using chain-of-thought prompting, sampling, self-consistency, response scoring, and self-refinement. Later chapters move to changing the model itself through reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards, GRPO improvements, format rewards, and finally distillation from stronger reasoning models into smaller ones. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book is especially useful because it implements the core methods from scratch rather than treating them as black-box library calls. Readers see how self-consistency, self-refinement, Best-of-N, and training-based methods actually work, including their cost and latency trade-offs. It also discusses common failure modes, including cases where refinement can make answers worse. Difficult concepts such as softmax, temperature, and top-p sampling are clarified with code-linked explanations and diagrams, and visual workflows make pipelines and scoring methods easier to follow. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eReading the book feels like following a guided technical build rather than a loose survey of AI topics. Each concept is introduced because the project now needs it. Diagrams, roadmaps, code listings, exercises, and repeated workflow summaries help readers stay oriented through advanced material. This structure reflects \u003cb\u003eSebastian Raschka's\u003c\/b\u003e professional strength: explaining complex machine learning topics by making every detail concrete and showing exactly where each section fits in the larger story. He does not treat mechanisms like evaluation, log-probabilities, KL regularization, or distillation as isolated abstractions; he connects them to the goal of making reasoning models understandable and implementable. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePhysically and organizationally, the book has eight chapters and seven substantial appendixes. That design keeps the main narrative focused while moving supporting material like references, exercise solutions, model source code, larger models, batching, evaluation alternatives, and chat interfaces into ordered appendixes. The result is a logically flowing book that remains hands-on, navigable, and technically deep without constantly interrupting the central build. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eWhat's inside\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e - From-scratch implementations of core LLM reasoning improvements\u003cbr\u003e - Verifier-based evaluation methods\u003cbr\u003e - RL with automatic verifiers for mathematics tasks \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the reader\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e For readers who know Python and have some knowledge of machine learning. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eAbout the author\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eSebastian Raschka\u003c\/b\u003e is an LLM Research Engineer with over a decade of experience.

We've even delegated life-and-death decisions to algorithms--decisions once made by doctors, pilots, and judges. In his new book, Kartik Hosanagar surveys the brave new world of algorithmic decision-making and reveals the potentially dangerous biases they can give rise to as they increasingly run our lives. He makes the compelling case that we need to arm ourselves with a better, deeper, more nuanced understanding of the phenomenon of algorithmic thinking. And he gives us a route in, pointing out that algorithms often think a lot like their creators--that is, like you and me. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHosanagar draws on his experiences designing algorithms professionally--as well as on history, computer science, and psychology--to explore how algorithms work and why they occasionally go rogue, what drives our trust in them, and the many ramifications of algorithmic decision-making.
