Today the use of applied mathematics to solve challenging problems in science and engineering or related fields by using numerical computation have reached to a new level. Computation is today considered as a very important tool needed for the advancement of scientific knowledge and engineering practice along with theory and experiment. In the modern world all sorts of calculations are done by sophisticated computer systems. Every company and research farms from small-scale to large-scale are getting

First off, I’d like to define prosthetics; some individuals may see prosthetics as simply a replacement for a limb, but the definition is slightly more complicated than that. “A Prosthesis can be any device designed to replace part of the body or improve the functionality of a body part; not just limbs, prosthetics include, but are not limited to; eyes, arms, legs, hands, joints, toes, and facial prosthetics.” (Disabled world) I personally have a fascination with prosthetics for a few reasons

From this investigation, I have managed to answer all the questions I wanted to answer. I did want to know what happens when I take away octonions and quaternions from the 0,1 interval, but I did not really understand the concepts of otconions and quaternions, so I decided to leave it out. Also, I think I already had too many words, so I did not want to overload my IA with too many words. Also, I did realize that ∞−∞ is a little too conceptual to use for anything in real life. So I could not apply

Amanda Pollock 11-02-15 U57476929 When Artificial Intelligence Is Wrong When thinking about whether strong AI (artificial intelligence) as compatible source for understanding the way of thinking and let alone machines is practically irrelevant according to John R. Searle (Searle 372). In terms of thinking and the aspects of a machine is far more complex than that of an ordinary strong AI. Machines in general have a great deal more going on than just a symbol manipulation system such of that

Can technology really change the way people think and act? Or is it just in Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, that technology changes their minds and thought. Referring to technology, “being there for you” Bradbury says,“Why go to a machine when you can go to a human being.” This is why technology is the reason for destruction and the feeling of being unoriginal. One example is, technology is taking over. “She had both ears plugged with electronic bees that were humming the hour away (Bradbury 16)

The co-curricular activity I attended was about “Mind-Uploading”. In it, we spoke of the possibility of artificial intelligence becoming the new norm. Uploading the thoughts of a human-being into a robot so that the robot could think and act in the same manner the human would in a given situation. The discussion involved different movies that illustrate this idea, such as I-Robot, Chappie, Sleep Dealer, and Black Mirror. These movies use the idea of mind-uploading as the central theme for their
