Computer-Aided Nonlinear Control System Design

A call-to-arms about the broken nature of artificial intelligence, and the powerful corporations that are turning the human-machine relationship on its head.We like to think that we are in control of the future of "artificial" intelligence. The reality, though, is that we--the everyday people whose data powers AI--aren't actually in control of anything. When, for example, we speak with Alexa, we contribute that data to a system we can't see and have no input into--one largely free from regulation or oversight. The big nine corporations--Amazon, Google, Facebook, Tencent, Baidu, Alibaba, Microsoft, IBM and Apple--are the new gods of AI and are short-changing our futures to reap immediate financial gain. In this book, Amy Webb reveals the pervasive, invisible ways in which the foundations of AI--the people working on the system, their motivations, the technology itself--is broken. Within our lifetimes, AI will, by design, begin to behave unpredictably, thinking and acting in ways which d

Acclaimed by IEEE Control Systems Magazine as "a welcome addition" to books in the field, this self-contained treatment is appropriate for courses in nonlinear system analysis. Geared toward advanced

Computer aided design (CAD) is the rendering of architectural drawings using the computer, which today plays a central role in almost all architectural firms. This volume explains the principles and f

因著軟、硬體技術的成熟、功能效率的大幅提升，以及價格的合理化，過去需要在主機電腦或工作站才能執行的參數式電腦輔助設計軟體（Parametric Computer Aided Design Software），如今均已可在個人電腦上進行。此意味著新世代CAD應用技術將逐漸成為市場主流，而傳統的設計方式將逐步被其取代。 本書是電腦技能基金會推出「TQC認證－工程製圖類認證」所出版的系列書籍之一。「Pr
