Probability and Random Processes

This textbook introduces readers to the fundamental notions of modern probability theory. The only prerequisite is a working knowledge in real analysis. Highlighting the connections between martingales and Markov chains on one hand, and Brownian motion and harmonic functions on the other, this book provides an introduction to the rich interplay between probability and other areas of analysis.Arranged into three parts, the book begins with a rigorous treatment of measure theory, with applications to probability in mind. The second part of the book focuses on the basic concepts of probability theory such as random variables, independence, conditional expectation, and the different types of convergence of random variables. In the third part, in which all chapters can be read independently, the reader will encounter three important classes of stochastic processes: discrete-time martingales, countable state-space Markov chains, and Brownian motion. Each chapter ends with a selection of illu

And she’s determined to learn everything about it. She declares it an Olgamus, names it Meh, and studies it like mad. After a few days, she learns all about the scientific method, Jane Goodall, some of her favorite odd creatures, the ins and outs of friendship, and every human’s use for living in a community—and also that Meh loves olives.Perfect for fans of Dear Dumb Diary and My Big Fat Zombie Goldfish, and great preparation for El Deafo, Roller Girl, and Smile, the humor and two-color line art in Olga and the Smelly Thing from Nowhere are both irreverent and accessible.

Frontiers of Memory in the Asia-Pacific explores the making and consumption of conflict-related heritage throughout the Asia-Pacific region. Contributing to a growing literature on ‘difficult heritage’, this collection advances our understanding of how places of pain, shame, oppression, and trauma have been appropriated and refashioned as ‘heritage’ in a number of societies in contemporary East and Southeast Asia and Oceania. The authors analyse how the repackaging of difficult pasts as heritage can serve either to reinforce borders, transcend them, or even achieve both simultaneously, depending on the political agendas that inform the heritage-making process. They also examine the ways in which these processes respond to colonialism, decolonization, and nationalism. The volume shows how efforts to preserve various sites of ‘difficult heritage’ can involve the construction of new borders in the mind between what is commemorated and what is often deliberately obscured or forgotten.

But given the reassurance that his memories will return in time, Roman begins to write articles for Dacre, uncertain of his place in the greater scheme of the war.

專門為資訊系學生寫的電晶體類比電路。電腦的最低層都是由電晶體和其他元件所構成，身為資訊系學生，一定要了解的知識！大家都知道電腦內部的線路都是所謂的數位電路，也就是說，電路的元件是一些AND gate、OR gate等等，但是如果打開任何一個晶片，裡面的元件卻是電晶體、電阻、電容等等。換言之，任何一個數位電路都要被轉換成一個由電晶體、電阻、電容等元件的電路，這種電路就是類比電路。很多同學都對類比電路感到害怕，資訊系同學更是如此，因為他們不太熟悉電晶體。雖然類比電路不容易學，但是由數位電路對應的類比電路卻是很容易理解的，因此我們決定寫下這本書，使很多資訊系同學能夠對類比電路多一些了解。在這本書中，我們將很多專有名詞保持英文版，道理很簡單，同學們應該盡量多懂英文，在職場中，科技名詞仍是用英文的。這本書是為了資訊系的學生寫的，的確資訊系的學生不可能搞懂類比電路，但是讀了這本書，相信大家會比較了解電腦的最低層是怎麼一回事，因為電腦的最低層都是由電晶體和其他元件所構成的。資訊系的學生總不能完全不了解一個電腦的最低層吧！

Making National Heroes is an ethnography of the making of national heroes in the commemoration of the Second World War in contemporary China. Foregrounding the lived experience of men and women who participate in commemorative activities, it theorises how masculinity and nationalism entangle in recollecting war memories. Taking the feminist line of inquiry, this anthropological study develops an approach to capture the centrality of making exemplars in the realisation of hegemonic masculinities. It adds a gender perspective to studies on exemplarist moral theory and theorises exemplary men’s cross-cultural significance in defining masculinities. Researchers in the fields of critical masculinity studies, anthropology, feminist methodology, China studies, and memory studies will be interested in this book.

教訓要記取仇恨要遺忘我的（寫作）目的是要了解整個事件，並希望世人從中學習教訓，記取沉痛的殷鑑。但是，不同的殘暴程度，通常就會引起不同的反應；因此我一定要提出一些數字，讓讀者對1937年發生在南京的大屠殺規模，有些許概念。一位歷史學家曾經估算，如果讓所有南京大屠殺的死難者手牽手，長度可以從南京到達杭州，綿延約兩百英里長。他們身上的血液共重達一千兩百噸，屍體可裝滿兩千五百節火車車廂。如果把這些屍體疊起來，高度相當於七十四層樓。――張純如這是一段讓人不忍回顧，卻必須面對的過去。1937年12月13日，南京落入日軍手中。一場泯滅人性的大屠殺隨即展開。成千上萬的年輕男子被集合起來驅趕至市郊，不是遭機關槍掃射，就是被日軍當作練習刺刀用的肉靶，甚或被潑了滿身的汽油活活燒死。無數的婦女慘遭日軍強暴與凌虐，就連孕婦也不放過。在幾個星期的時間裡，南京城內屍橫遍野，宛如煉獄。本書從三個不同角度――日本人、中國受難者與當時在場的歐美人士的敘事觀點，全方位呈現整個大屠殺事件；另一方面，抽絲剝繭地檢視這段長達多年的黑暗勢力，探討日本政府如何處心積慮地抹煞世界對大屠殺的記憶。作者蒐集海峽兩岸、歐美、日本許多第一手資料，並且整合大屠殺倖存者的訪談記錄，重新呈現南京大屠殺的完整面貌。透過流利、細緻的文字，讀者可以完整了解南京大屠殺歷史的始末，同時省思歷史事件留予世人的寶貴教訓。各界好評一部從歷史真相中批判道德淪喪的有力新作。張純如在書中謹慎考證了這場浩劫的真實規模與細節。――《芝加哥論壇報》（Chicago Tribune）經過精心的研究考證……故事扣人心弦，牢牢抓住讀者的目光，從頭到尾令人欲罷不能。――鄭念，《上海生與死》（Life and Death in Shanghai）作者張純如深入研究南京大屠殺，為二戰暴行增添並擴展出全新的敘述。這本書非常出色，其所講述的故事值得被世人聆聽。――白彬菊（Beatrice S. Bartlett），耶魯大學歷史系教授令人心碎……一本非常扣人心弦的著作。這本書關於暴行的描述，不僅點出日本帝國軍國主義的根本問題，更呈現了施虐者、強暴者、殺人者的心理問題。――魏斐德（Frederic Wakeman），加州大學柏克萊分校東亞研究所（Institute of East Asian Studies）所長今日的美國，有人做出了正義而美好的事情，她揭發了塵封已久的醜陋惡
