探討如何將電腦科學中的演算法原理應用到日常生活與人類決策中。作者結合心理學、認知科學與計算機科學，說明演算法不僅是電腦解題的工具，更是我們在面對生活難題時可借鑑的思考模型。本書涵蓋多種實用議題，透過演算法的視角來處理生活中的決策與權衡，例如：➤最佳停下時機（Optimal Stopping）：如何判斷在眾多選項中何時停止尋找並做出決定，如招聘或約會。➤探索與利用的平衡（Explore-Exploit Trade-off）：何時探索新機會，何時利用已知資源。➤排序與組織：提升查找效率的策略。➤快取管理：如何在有限記憶空間中有效保留重要資訊。➤工作排程與切換成本：如何管理多任務與優先順序。➤貝氏定理（Bayes's Rule）：結合先驗知識與新資訊做出推論。➤放寬問題限制：在無解或計算困難的情況下，尋求「夠好」的近似解。➤隨機性與資源管理：利用隨機策略在不確定環境下取得良好結果。➤網絡與遊戲理論：理解互動系統與多方利益的決策動態。書中強調，雖然演算法能為複雜問題提供指導，但現實生活中決策仍存在不確定性和失敗風險。重要的是採用合理的策略來面對時間與資源限制，並學習在不完美中作出最佳抉擇。該書還指出，人類在面對計算難題時，常能透過直覺和簡化模型達成驚人的表現。此書獲得廣泛好評，被譽為一本能讓人重新認識「演算法」不僅屬於科技領域，更是生活智慧的指導手冊。A fascinating exploration of how computer algorithms can be applied to our everyday lives.

A spirited volume on the great adventures of science throughout history, for curious readers of all agesScience is fantastic. It tells us about the infinite reaches of space, the tiniest living organism, the human body, the history of Earth. People have always been doing science because they have always wanted to make sense of the world and harness its power. From ancient Greek philosophers through Einstein and Watson and Crick to the computer-assisted scientists of today, men and women have wondered, examined, experimented, calculated, and sometimes made discoveries so earthshaking that people understood the world-or themselves-in an entirely new way.This inviting book tells a great adventure story: the history of science. It takes readers to the stars through the telescope, as the sun replaces the earth at the center of our universe. It delves beneath the surface of the planet, charts the evolution of chemistry's periodic table, introduces the physics that explain electricity, gravit

＼＼＼林正弘教授經典著作重新再版／／／ ＼＼知識論必讀論文集／／ 本書收集林正弘教授有關知識論、邏輯及科學哲學的四篇論文。 第一篇〈知識與合理的真實信念〉所討論是當年知識論的一個熱門問題：知識是否等於合理的真實信念？ 第二篇〈邏輯悖論與公設集合論〉以羅素悖論做為邏輯悖論的代表，對各公設集合論系統解消邏輯悖論的方法做了簡略的說明與比較。 第三篇〈瑞姆濟的理論性概念消除法〉和第四篇〈克雷格定理及其科學哲學上的應用〉分別討論兩種消除抽象概念的方法，並討論這些消除法與科學工具論之間的關係。 透過此四篇專文，我們得以一窺林教授所熱切關注之問題，以及其在學術上之成就，來緬懷林教授的學者風範。

This brand-new series highlights some of the major contributions women have made in the world of science.Did you know that the technology behind cell phones was based on an idea developed during World War II by the Hollywood star Heddy Lamar to prevent the enemy intercepting radio messages? The computer and other electronic devices have changed life dramatically over the last 70 years―and many of the key breakthroughs in technology were made by women. These women’s achievements were often highly specialized and have been widely overlooked. This book tells their stories and describes their vital contributions.

Funny and totally true childhood biographies and full-color illustrations tell tales from the challenging yet defining growing-up years of Albert Einstein, Jane Goodall, Marie Curie, and 12 other brilliant scientists.Every great scientist started out as a kid. Before their experiments, inventions, and discoveries that changed the world, the world's most celebrated scientists had regular-kid problems just like you.*Stephen Hawking hated school, and preferred to spend his free time building model airplanes, inventing board games, and even building his own computer.*Jane Goodall got in trouble for bringing worms and snails into her house.*And Neil deGrasse Tyson had to start a dog-walking business to save up money to buy a telescope.Readers ages 8 to 12 years old will learn all the stories of a diverse and inclusive group—also including Temple Grandin, Nikola Tesla, Ada Lovelace, Benjamin Franklin, Isaac Newton, Rosalind Franklin, Sally Ride, Rachel Carson, George Washington Carver, and V

From one of our leading chroniclers of the intersection of innovation and capitalism, a landmark reckoning— based on unprecedented access— with one of the world’s most brilliant and driven tech visionaries and his game-changing company.Even by the standard of a tech industry stacked with so-called visionary leaders possessed of the godspark of genius, Demis Hassabis is universally recognized as a special case. Born poor in North London to immigrant parents, a dominant chess prodigy by age five and wizard coder in his teens, he turned down a seven figure offer before he turned 18 to feed his insatiable scientific curiosity at Cambridge. Later, he added a neuroscience PhD to his computer science skills to pursue the dream of artificial general intelligence, his ultimate goal to solve the world’s hardest problems and usher in an era of super-abundance. And along with a small group of fellow travelers around the world, that is the path he is very much still on, winning a Nobel Prize along

資料結構(Data Structures) 是一門電腦科學領域的基礎課程，其目的是研究如何將資料有組織地存放到電腦記憶體中，以提升程式之執行效率的一門學問。因此，有良好的資料結構(Data Structure) 及有效率的演算法(Algorithm) 將可以大大的提升程式的執行效率。在電腦科學(Computer Science) 的領域中，我們如何透過電腦來取得即時有用的資訊，那就必須要將資料交由程式去運作，而「程式」就是由「資料結構」和「演算法」所構成的。 隨著資訊科技的進度，傳統資訊核心課程的理論之運用更顯得重要。因此，筆者特別加入目前重要的發展議題。例如：物聯網、智慧型機器人及大數據，其中以「智慧型機器人」為主題，加入不少相關的例子，並且將重要的理論，利用互動式圖解APP 方式來呈現。因為筆者在最近這幾年來專注於機器人及手機APP 的相關研究及各種比賽的經驗，想透過本書來分享給讀者在學習資料結構的同時，也能夠了解它們的各種運用。 動態展示演算法：這本書共有九個章節，每一章節筆者都利用圖解說明、循序漸進的表達方式，來引導學習者有效地學習資料結構，除此之外，特別加入「互動式APP 動態展示演算法的實際運作原理」之實作介面，它是利用 AppInventor 的視覺化程式語言所撰寫而成。如此，學生更容易了解老師上課講解的理論背後演算法的運作程序。

電腦科學是一門不斷發展和進步的年輕學科，在日常生活中扮演著重要的角色，且在未來也將持續影響我們的生活。本書可作為專業人士自學指南，也可以是一個學期或一個學季的教科書，內容包括電腦科學的全部領域：電腦及資訊、硬體與軟體、資訊組織型態、程式設計、演算法、資訊安全等。本書著重概念的建立，並以多達420 張圖形、豐富的範例、演算法、習題等來加強讀者的學習效果。

APCS（Advanced Placement Computer Science）是指「大學程式設計先修檢測」，檢測內容分為兩個部份：程式設計實作題及程式設計觀念題。 本書包含APCS歷年公告四屆的實作題及三屆的觀念題，以簡單易懂的文字敘述及清楚的流程圖分析考題的解題方向，讓讀者可先以紙筆演練，理解各題的運算思維脈絡與原理後，再開始編寫程式來完成解題。本書採用C++程式語言為工具，以其指令與語法來解題，著重運算思維的訓練，即使沒有上機寫程式，仍可用一張紙和一支筆解出問題。

'Joins the dots in a neglected narrative of female scientists, visionaries and code-breakers'ObserverHow is artificial intelligence changing the way we live and love? Now with a new chapter, this is the eye-opening book fromSunday Timesbestselling author Jeanette Winterson.Drawing on her years of thinking and reading about AI, Jeanette Winterson looks to history, religion, myth, literature, politics and, of course, computer science to help us understand the radical changes to the way we live and love that are happening now.With wit, compassion and curiosity, Winterson tackles AI's most interesting talking points - from the weirdness of backing up your brain and the connections between humans and non-human helpers to whether it's time to leave planet Earth.'Very funny... A kind of comparative mythology, where the hype and ideology of cutting-edge tech is read through the lens of far older stories'Spectator'Refreshingly optimistic'Guardian

Formal Models of Domestic Politics offers a unified and accessible approach to canonical and important new models of politics. Intended for political science and economics students who have already taken a course in game theory, this new edition retains the widely appreciated pedagogic approach of the first edition. Coverage has been expanded to include a new chapter on nondemocracy; new material on valance and issue ownership, dynamic veto and legislative bargaining, delegation to leaders by imperfectly informed politicians, and voter competence; and numerous additional exercises. Political economists, comparativists, and Americanists will all find models in the text central to their research interests. This leading graduate textbook assumes no mathematical knowledge beyond basic calculus, with an emphasis placed on clarity of presentation. Political scientists will appreciate the simplification of economic environments to focus on the political logic of models; economists will discov
