Multidimensional Data Visualization

擺脫只教解題技巧的高中數學！藉由俯瞰高中數學的「全貌」，進一步窺探大學數學的「入口」代數、幾何、微分、積分、數列、數論、機率、統計、矩陣、向量等等⋯⋯這些高中三年間背下來的定理和公式到底是什麼意義呢？本書將數學視為學問，而只非應考的學科。既然是學問，最重要的就是掌握學習的意義和目的，了解「新概念是什麼」、「透過這個新概念可以得知什麼」。因此內文中花費大量篇幅在介紹應該得學習的概念，以及定理與公式的推導。除此之外，書中幾乎每個單元都設有專欄，為讀者介紹高中學到的數學知識在歷史上是如何誕生的，又對社會有什麼用處，以及高中數學和大學數學之間的關聯。相信從不同於教科書的角度認識高中數學，能幫助大家對它產生「更立體的理解」。不只是從最基礎的部分按部就班地講解，還以最好學習與理解的方式，從高中數學到大學數學的入口詳細說明。若能夠藉此了解定理與公式的隱藏「意義」，除了能真正理解數學，還能看見數學這門學問的「全貌」，進而享受到一個更為廣闊的數學世界。▋學習幾何學的真正原因跟生活中一定會用到的算術相比，數學可能並不算實用。其中跟圖形有關的幾何學在出社會後幾乎派不上什麼用場。然而我們的課綱卻還是沒有刪掉幾何學。這是因為幾何學雖然不實用，卻還是有學習的價值。我認為在所有數學領域中（尤其是對於將來不會用到數學的人），唯有幾何學是必學不可的。這是因為，若要鍛鍊邏輯思考能力，運用幾何學是最原始且直觀的方法。▋相關關係的注意點得益於IT領域的快速發展，擁有從大數據中找出有用資訊的數據探勘（Data mining）技術的統計學家在各個領域都取得了驚人的成果。學習統計學的目的，是為了培養準確分析數據、找出對生活有益資訊的能力；但要小心因為判斷錯誤而導致無法找到原本的「資訊」。關於相關關係需要注意的地方：⑴　分析出的趨勢不一定具有普遍性⑵　即使存在相關關係，也不一定代表存在因果關係

一本顛覆傳統，漫畫、劇本式直白呈現從無到有寫論文、期刊發表的歷程專書，教你寫出好論文……論文寫作就是一項闇黑的試煉。期待每位撰寫者在闇黑中找出屬於自己的那一道光。——國立屏東大學校長 陳永森教授應該不要只糾正學生寫作，而是應關心學生寫作的「心路歷程」。——普立茲獎得主、新罕布什爾大學教授唐納德‧默里繼《闇黑研究方法》後，作者方偉達又一「闇黑」力作！搭配精采漫畫故事，這次，又會讓讀者見識到怎樣的「闇黑」境界呢？將軍的戰場在戰場，教授的戰場在講堂。──方偉達 對每位研究者而言，論文是取得學位、職位升等……的門檻，如何在論文進行之初，就對論文寫作與研究方法擁有基礎的認知是基本功，但這也往往最讓撰寫者感到煎熬。 這一本書，不是只談枯燥的論文寫作過程、英文的修辭、文本進行修改，以及糾正錯誤的無聊書寫，它還著重在寫論文時，從無到有撰寫者擬真的心路歷程。透過書中12個角色人物，漫畫劇本中生動的演繹、呈現，讓寫論文的想題目、著手寫（研究課題、研究方法、參考文獻、研究設計、資料收集、分析討論……等）原本枯燥、制式的「程序」動作，讓你不只是理論、實務具備，更能在作品發表時，獲得你自己專屬的學術生命養成與智慧回饋。本書精彩篇目：PART 1西遊記什麼是論文、瞭解您的名詞：博士不只一種、論文開始前入門整理、科學在於不斷的證明、學校不會教您論文的格式、如何開始寫學位論文的摘要、表格和數字要怎麼列、如何寫學位論文的結論與建議、打造一些新的觀點和論述……PART 2封神榜沉浸在思考享受的過程、您的引用的來源可靠嗎、哈佛教會我的論文改寫方法、為什麼不能重複自己的話、學術論文的誠信、跨國國際出版商賣掉您的智慧財產權、論文要開放資訊（Open Data）嗎、發表文章被引用很重要嗎……書末附上碩 (博)士論文/書面報告/技術報告/專業實務報告通過簽名表、解釋名詞、貢獻者角色分類法

This monograph presents a visually striking exploration of Refik Anadol’s data-driven installation, created for the opening of the new BRUSK museum in Bruges. The book offers exclusive visuals and reflections on the intersection of art, technology, and memory in Anadol’s work.Working at the intersection of art, science, and technology, Refik Anadol is best known for his large-scale immersive installations and public artworks that use machine learning, AI, and big data to visualize complex systems. Anadol’s work transforms raw data – ranging from urban landscapes to brainwaves – into dynamic, multi-sensory experiences, pushing the boundaries of how we perceive space, memory, and reality.For the inaugural programme at BRUSK, the new museum for contemporary art in Bruges, Belgium, Anadol presents a major site-specific installation that immerses visitors in a datadriven landscape unique to the city.

An exciting new business ethics textbook that looks at the most pressing contemporary issues including data ethics, technology and equality and diversity.

Prevailing classification systems backed by the American Psychiatric Association (DSM) and World Health Organization (ICD) generally assume that mental health conditions are best represented by discrete entities that are qualitatively distinct from one another and from mental health. These diagnostic categories, such as major depression, antisocial personality disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder, are ubiquitous in research, clinical, training, legal, and public health contexts. Yet they are out of sync with a vast quantity of scientific data on the presentation, causes, and treatments of psychopathology. Empirically speaking, categorical diagnoses tend to be unreliable (over time and across reporters), have fuzzy boundaries with one another and mental health, do not capture many clinical presentations encountered in routine practice, and lack distinctive causes and recommended treatments. Dimensional perspectives recognize the same signs and symptoms as categorical rubrics, but

A myth-busting investigation of small donors: who they are, how they spend their money, and whose campaigns actually benefit from their donations. Many political reformers argue that more robust small donor participation in US campaigns would reduce the influence of the wealthiest Americans and improve political responsiveness to ordinary citizens. Drawing on extensive data, including surveys and campaign records, Zachary Albert and Raymond J. La Raja largely dispel this myth, offering the first comprehensive portrait to date of small donors in US elections. Although small donor contributions to high-profile, national races have increased markedly since 2018, the US campaign finance system allows for even larger sums of money from Super PACs and other independent spending groups. Moreover, small donors are mostly similar to their larger contributor counterparts: both are socioeconomically advantaged, strongly partisan, ideologically extreme, and distinct from non-donors. Small donors

Strong Bridges is a book about a contradiction and the opportunity it offers. For decades, social network theory has drawn its maps of advantage from the idea that brokers sit astride structural holes, reaping value from weak ties that bridge disconnected worlds. But what if some of those bridges are not weak? What if the real advantage lies not just in structure, but in trust forged in interpersonal history regardless of structure? This is the puzzle Strong Bridges takes up. It begins with guanxi, the colloquial Chinese term for relationship advantage, often dismissed as cultural peculiarity or corruption. But the authors treat guanxi as a strategic research site, not a cultural relic. They view it a niche-word pointing to a broader category of human experience. Combining analytic rigor with quality network data, they pull apart the Siamese twins of tie strength and network structure, documenting the prevalence and competitive value of high-trust ties that span structural holes, i.e.,

Concerns about political polarization and threats to democratic ideals are on the rise in the US. The Authoritarian Divide takes on both of these issues by showing how authoritarian predispositions--desires for social conformity and in-group conformity--have influenced American political preferences, voting, and partisanship in recent decades. Voters have increasingly sorted into political parties based on their levels of authoritarianism, with higher levels tending toward the Republican Party and lower levels to Democratic. The authors reveal complexities in this trend, including the outsized effect on White Americans, the dependence on parties offering certain types of choices, and the different ways education level factors into the sorting process. Drawing from nationally representative samples, panel data, and experiments, the book demonstrates that authoritarianism has increasingly structured a wide range of attitudes and has become a growing influence on vote choice. The analysis

The surprising story of how corporate scandals like the Lehman Shock and the Facebook data scandal change the way the world works—for the better.Pepper Culpepper and Taeku Lee draw on a decade of research on policymaking and public opinion to show us how scandals can ignite a public with few political outlets for their discontent. Scandal no longer just dominates news cycles, they can inspire us to change policy, spur governments to action the rules that exist to protect us.Today it is giant companies, not governments, who run the world. They put rockets into space, control satellite communication and develop era-defining AI technologies. But around the globe, these corporate titans are facing increasing public hostility.Tech giants are accused of promoting misinformation, debasing democracy and violating our privacy. Big banks, reeling since the financial crisis of 2008, are racked with major scandals - from fraud to money laundering. But these terrible scandals are not just symptoms

Given the sometimes extraordinary politicization of culture, it is surprising that Sesame Street has gained acceptance and legitimacy in more than fifty countries. Sesame Street's global success raises two questions. First, how does a US icon like Sesame Street spread around the world, gaining acceptance as a local cultural product? Second, how does the nonprofit that created it, Sesame Workshop, and its partners around the world navigate cultural differences, manage conflicts, and construct shared collective representations to create Sesame Street programs that resonate with local audiences? Tamara Kay answers these questions using data from seven years of intensive ethnographic fieldwork and 200 in-depth interviews with Sesame Workshop staff and international partners-including their real-time interactions-from seventeen countries within four regions around the world. Kay argues that Sesame Workshop's secret is its engagement in coproduction, meaning it works with partners as a trans
