Why is Mathematics Vital to Thrive In Your AI Career?

“Mathematics is the language with which God has written the universe.” -Galileo Galilei

A section of the media pounced on Rhea, terming her a gold digger, and handed out instant verdicts in the newsroom. Anchors appeared to have little time to discuss India’s crossing four million COVID-19 cases, the 23.9% GDP contraction or the heightened border tensions.

A mob that seems to find its voice through TV anchors and social media appears to have overruled ideas of justice, fairness and even the law.

Something rotten: On Sushant Singh Rajput death and the media mob

The death of Sushant appears to have laid bare deeply entrenched social prejudices

Indians take pride in producing a large number of science and engineering graduates so much so that it has given rise to the cliche of the Indian society valuing STEM (science, technology, engineering, and medicine) education greatly. How does one reconcile this pride with the propensity of Indian STEM graduates for propagating pseudoscience that should be obvious to any rational human being? The answer to this lies partly in the uncomfortable and complicated relationship between middle class India and science.

we have a paradox where India produces a lot of science graduates who are uncomfortable with asking questions.

Child marriages were seen to be increasing especially during the lockdown possibly because parents who wanted to get their minor children married, thought they could escape the scrutiny of police busy with duties related to the pandemic.

Decline in Global Poverty is a Farce Perpetuated by World Bank’s Poverty Line | NewsClick

There is much self-congratulatory back-slapping among governments, World Bank officials and many economists about the “decline in poverty” that is supposed to have occurred between 1990 and the onset of the recent pandemic. This decline is claimed on the basis of an International Poverty Line (IPL) of $1.90 a day (at 2011 Purchasing Power Parity) worked out by the Bank, which basically defines poverty across the world as lack of access over one day to the bundle of goods that $1.90 would have bought in the US in 2011.
