Description: Computing Possible Futures by William B. Rouse Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Computing Possible Futures provides an easy to digest tour of modeling, simulation, analytics, and AI and how these technologies can enable better decision making. Publisher Description Mathematical modelling and simulation is an increasingly powerful area of mathematics and computer science, which in recent years has been fuelled by the unprecedented access to larger than ever stores of data. These techniques have an increasing number of applications in the professional and political spheres, and people try to predict the results of certain courses of action as accurately as possible. Computing Possible Futuresexplores the use of models on everyday phenomena such as waiting in lines and driving a car, before expanding the models complexity to look at how large-scale computational models can help imagine big scale"what-if" scenarios like the effect self-driving cars on the US economy. The successes and failures of complex real world problems are examined, and it is shown how few, if any, failures are due to model errors or computational difficulties. It is also shown how real life decision makers have addressed important problems and used their model-based understanding of possible futures to inform these decisions.Written in an entertaining and accessible way, ComputingPossible Futures will help those concerned about the futurity of their decisions to understand what fundamentally needs to be done, why it needs to be done, and how to do it.
