Into the book
Artificial intelligence (AI) technology relies heavily on mathematical concepts and methods, so it is no exaggeration to say that it is a collection of mathematics.
--- p.8

Comparing the value and importance of data today to that of traditional energy source oil suggests that data is a valuable resource essential for extraction, refinement, and powering a wide range of applications and technologies.

--- p.21

In a world where all kinds of information can be shared, everything that happens every moment, including the trivial details of an individual's daily life, is transformed into data.
As a result, even the daily actions that we repeat without realizing it are accumulated as data.

--- p.28

Mathematics is about finding connections between countless pieces of data and giving them meaning.

--- p.33

AI's correlation analysis capabilities have now reached a level where they can uncover relationships between seemingly unrelated entities.

--- p.42

Through this book, I want to emphasize to you the importance of developing your mathematical thinking skills beyond simply understanding mathematical principles and concepts.
Especially in today's rapidly changing era of artificial intelligence, mathematical thinking will empower you in a variety of problem-solving situations.

--- p.83

At first, artificial intelligence researchers tried to create machines that thought like humans.
A typical example is the Turing test.

--- p.91

Research on artificial intelligence, which had been through its first cold spell, began to become active again when people began to approach intelligence from a different perspective.

--- p.95

The process by which artificial intelligence studies is very similar to the process by which we study mathematics.

--- p.103

Ultimately, the reason artificial intelligence learns (trains) is to obtain a single model that fits the purpose.
Because if we just find this function, we can predict the desired result.

--- p.119

Don't you think mathematics is a truly beautiful and wonderful discipline in that it can express the operating principles of neurons in a single formula, a single function?
--- p.127

Just as our bodies react differently depending on the type of stimulus, 'weights' are mathematical values ​​that allow artificial intelligence to recognize these differences in response.

--- p.140

However, since artificial intelligence is not a real person, we have no choice but to borrow the power of mathematics to make it think logically.
In fact, mathematics is nothing more than a collection of logic.

--- p.145

The XOR problem, which could not be solved with a single artificial neuron, can now be solved with an artificial neural network, and this has changed the paradigm of artificial intelligence research.

--- p.167

If you're curious about the future, using mathematical modeling to make predictions or estimates based on available data is a good approach.

--- p.184

Starting with Galton's research, linear regression analysis is an analysis method for identifying relationships between independent and dependent variables, and is still widely used today in the age of artificial intelligence.

--- p.198

The goal of artificial intelligence is to find a straight line that minimizes the representative error.

--- p.209

Finding the data we need from a vast amount of data is called data mining.
Mining means extracting minerals from a mine.
Now, it has become important to extract the data we need from the vast amount of data that is piled up like a mine.

--- p.235

AI models predict what content a user prefers based on what videos they've previously watched.

--- p.247

PageRank is literally the ranking of a page.
More specifically, it ranks pages based on their influence.

--- p.253

Explainable AI, or XAI, is a technology that provides humans with the reason for the judgment results of artificial intelligence (AI) so that they can understand them.

--- p.266

Of course, among AI models, there are models that allow humans to easily understand all of the AI's decision-making processes.
The problem, however, is that explainability and AI performance are currently inversely proportional.

--- p.270

Contribution is also important for AI predictions.
In reality, artificial intelligence calculates by replacing the independent variable whose contribution we want to know.

--- p.281

In this way, artificial intelligence and mathematics have grown and developed together, and will continue to do so in the future.
And through this collaborative growth, our influence will rapidly expand into more and more diverse fields.
--- p.298

Publisher's Review
Math that breaks through textbooks,
Move artificial intelligence!
How far has artificial intelligence developed?
The Ins and Outs of Artificial Intelligence Through Mathematics

As the saying goes, "an era of great transformation," we are living in a time of great social change, each with a mixture of expectations and anxieties.
Among them, what catches the eye is the terrifying growth of AI, or artificial intelligence.
AlphaGo, which had already defeated human Go prodigies in the Go match of the century in 2016, was enough to imprint the amazing performance of artificial intelligence on the public's mind.
In the years since, artificial intelligence has been growing rapidly.
They learn at an incredible pace without rest, quickly reaching a level of expertise that humans would struggle to achieve in years, analyzing massive amounts of data to uncover correlations, and even making reliable predictions.
It even seems to be overlooking the creative field that we have been proud of as a unique human ability.


Some experts predict that the emergence of superintelligence in the near future will provide solutions to global challenges that humanity has been unable to solve, such as climate disasters, environmental pollution, and various incurable diseases that threaten the quality of life and survival.
On the other hand, fears and anxieties related to artificial intelligence are being excessively promoted.
There are even rumors running rampant that most human jobs will disappear or that human society will ultimately be destroyed, and many people are even expressing antipathy towards artificial intelligence research itself.
In times like these, rather than being swayed by vague speculations and unsubstantiated rumors, perhaps we should strive to understand the mechanisms of artificial intelligence. This book is a story about AI mathematics for young people living in the era of digital transformation.
Let's look at artificial intelligence from a mathematical perspective, examine the problem-solving process, and develop mathematical thinking.

The era of artificial intelligence,
Useful Math Stories to Know
How does mathematics power artificial intelligence?

Just as computers, the Internet, and smartphones have brought about massive social changes, artificial intelligence is also changing the world's paradigm.
The various controversies surrounding artificial intelligence are also evidence of the public's keen interest.
In fact, ChatGP, which appeared 7 years after AlphaGo, surpassed 1 million users in just 5 days after its release, and achieved the feat of securing 100 million users in just 2 months.


Recently, the news spread that artificial intelligence was re-serializing the work of a late cartoonist, sparking a controversy over 'desecration of the deceased.'
Regardless of the controversy, it is surprising how far artificial intelligence has grown, reaching a level where it can learn the art style and storytelling of the deceased and create creative works based on that.
In fact, the rapid growth of artificial intelligence is the result of implementing human self-directed learning processes into artificial intelligence systems, and mathematics is at the foundation of this.
AI technology relies heavily on mathematical concepts and methods, and can be viewed as a holistic approach to mathematics. AI algorithms and systems are based on mathematical models and theories, and mathematical operations and calculations are utilized for various predictions and decision-making.
In other words, mathematics is the force that makes artificial intelligence move logically.

The increasingly powerful capabilities of artificial intelligence are both a source of awe and fear.
And the more we cannot grasp the reality, the more our vague fears become maximized.
This book explores the ins and outs of artificial intelligence through the language of 'mathematics'.
In particular, attention was paid to the problem-solving process of artificial intelligence.
As you communicate with AI through the language of mathematics, fear will gradually turn into intimacy, and you will be able to become a little closer to AI.
Moreover, in the gloomy reality of our country's education system, where students are overflowing with dropouts, wouldn't it be possible to discover the charm of mathematics while also finding individual reasons why we should study mathematics in the age of artificial intelligence?

Let's develop AI literacy and mathematical thinking!

Mathematics and artificial intelligence have grown and developed together, and will continue to do so in the future.
Furthermore, through this kind of shared growth, it is expected to expand its influence and become more active throughout society.
And as artificial intelligence becomes more active, it will penetrate deeper into our daily lives.


Just as it is difficult to imagine our daily lives without smartphones today, it will become difficult to imagine our daily lives without artificial intelligence in the future.
Just as today's seniors who are not familiar with smartphones are called digital illiterate, it has become increasingly important to develop AI literacy so that we do not live as AI illiterate in the future.
Literacy is not simply the ability to read, or decode.
It refers to a comprehensive ability that encompasses definition, understanding, interpretation, creation, communication, and calculation.
The same thing should apply to fostering AI literacy.


There is also one more thing that is important in the age of artificial intelligence.
It is mathematical thinking.
In this age of hyper-technology, where the convergence of vast amounts of information and creative knowledge creates new synergies, it is more important to cultivate the ability to creatively restructure knowledge and flexibly integrate and apply it to problem-solving than to simply acquire knowledge itself.
Mathematical thinking is closely related to the ability to creatively restructure knowledge beyond passive learning and freely integrate it into real-world problem solving.
This book emphasizes that "mathematical thinking" is the foundation of artificial intelligence development, as well as explaining the various mathematical concepts used in artificial intelligence decision-making.


This book stimulates readers' interest by appropriately introducing various images and opinions implemented by ChatGPTI throughout the content. It goes beyond understanding the principles and concepts of AI mathematics and guides readers to develop mathematical thinking and creative problem-solving skills in various problem situations.
In the age of artificial intelligence, mathematics will shed its label as a difficult and uncomfortable subject that causes many test-takers to feel uneasy, and will be rebranded as a useful discipline that helps them grow into creative, convergent future talents.
