From preeminent math personality and author of The Joy of x, a brilliant and endlessly appealing explanation of calculus – how it works and why it makes our lives immeasurably better. Without calculus, we wouldn’t have cell phones, TV, GPS, or ultrasound. We wouldn’t have tamed AIDS or discovered Pluto or figured out how to put 5,000 songs in your pocket. Though many of us were scared away from this essential, engrossing subject in high school and college, Steven Strogatz’s brilliantly creative, down-to-earth history shows that calculus is not about complexity; it’s about simplicity. It harnesses an unreal number—infinity—to tackle real-world problems, breaking them down into easier ones and then reassembling the answers into solutions that feel miraculous. Infinite Powers recounts how calculus tantalized and thrilled its inventors, starting with its first glimmers in ancient Greece and bringing us right up to the Higgs boson (a particle predi

――――超人氣暢銷書《演算法圖鑑》姊妹作，機器學習初學者最佳入門書！―――― 人工智慧時代關鍵能力！深度學習深在哪裡？強化運算思維，建構邏輯概念，一次弄懂深度學習活用之道！ ★ 精闢剖析深度學習發展史，詳述機器學習的基礎知識！★ 完整解說熱門程式語言第一名Python的環境建構和基本語法！★ 圖像化示範TensorFlow和Keras的安裝，開發AI必學必讀！★ 介紹類神經網路

本書的主要目標是，大家一起來「不寫程式，而學AI」。例如不知Python而亦能用TensorFlow。 當今的AI是屬於機器學習(Machine Learning)的一支，基於神經網路( NN: Neural Network)的深度學習。現在，人人都想去理解AI電腦(即機器)到底是如何學習的，以便掌握AI技術熱潮，捷足先登，踏進這項當今的主流產業(AI人工智慧)。 然而，AI機器學習的演算法(Algorithm)又非常依賴於高等數學的運算式，包括線性、非線性函數、N維矩陣(Array)、張量(Tensor)、微分導數、梯度(Gradient)下降、梯度消失等大家很陌生的數學概念和術語。這些複雜性大大阻礙人人親近AI的機會和途徑。俗語說：「面對複雜，唯有簡單」。所以，尋覓和創造一個簡單、親切的途徑，讓人人都能享受，就能彌平進入AI的高大門檻了。Google推出的AI平台：TensorFlow。雖然它還不能完全實踐的美好境界，但可望它是一個不錯的起點了。於是，本書就將Excel試算表與TensorFlow結合起來，就能實現了。不懂程式設計而能學AI，好比不懂車而能學開車。在本書裡，筆者把與分離開來。於是大多數不諳編程技術者，皆能直接切入，而輕鬆愉快地學習AI了。
