Count your Blessings: The Natural Beauty of Mathematics, with Junaid Mubeen

Count your Blessings: The Natural Beauty of Mathematics, with Junaid Mubeen

Whether rapidly advancing artificial intelligence will eventually become a friend or foe to humanity is a pressing question when it comes to technology. But one smart human says there’s an area where we still have the edge: mathematics. In his new book, Mathematical Intelligence: What we have that Machines Don’t, mathematician turned educator Junaid Mubeen argues that the playfulness and exploratory nature of the human approach to maths is a quality that the linear and binary brains of machines are nowhere close to replicating. Junaid is joined in conversation by our host for the discussion, The Sunday Times' Rosamund Urwin. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
