Digital Control Engineering

榮獲美國出版人協會（Association of American Publishers）電腦資訊科學最佳書籍獎電腦網路技術無所不在：每天，我們從海量的資訊中搜尋到所要的資訊、我們上傳照片到臉書上、我們運用公鑰加密來傳送私人資訊例如信用卡號碼等等、我們使用數位簽章來確認所造訪的網站的真偽……這本書介紹了讓電腦網路世界得以運作，塑造今日人類生活的九種最重要的演算法（algorithm）。作者挑選這九大演算法的標準是：1.每天會被一般電腦使用者用到的演算法。2.必須能解決現實世界的具體問題。3.主要是與資訊科學理論有關的演算法。4. 美、簡潔、優雅。本書所介紹的九大演算法是：搜尋引擎的索引（search engine indexing）、網頁排序（page rank）、公鑰加密（public-key cryptography）、錯誤更正碼（error-correcting codes）、模式辨識（pattern recognition，如手寫辨識、聲音辨識、人臉辨識等等）、資料壓縮（data compression）、資料庫（databases）、數位簽章（digital signature），以及一種如果存在的話將會很了不起的偉大演算法，並探討電腦能力的極限。作者將我們日常生活會用到的電腦功能背後的道理，以淺顯易懂的方式介紹，不具備資訊科學的背景也可以了解。而且令人驚喜的是，每一種演算法，都是一個解決問題的創意與線索，也讓我們得以一窺近代數學家、資訊科學家的努力探索成果。面對越來越科技化的現代生活與職場挑戰，這些基本原理和概念值得我們去了解、吸收，為未來世界做好準備。媒體好評：「這是一本很容易讀的書，介紹了一些很重要的演算法。最重要的是，這本書傳達了一種神奇——不光是指科技的成就，而是使得電腦發揮神奇功能的美麗科學。」Andreas Trabesinger，《自然物理學》(Nature Physics) 「這本書寫得非常好……風格相當平易近人，適合廣大讀者閱讀。」John Gilbey，《泰晤士報高等教育專刊》(Times Higher Education) 「作者讓讀者有一種發動機的感覺，這台發動機為網路世界提供動力……本書讓讀者體會真實世界，開始看到這些演算法在你我周遭活跳跳。」Kevin Slavin，《新科學家》(New Scientist

數位化的發展，對環境、社會及企業治理帶來了極大的衝擊，其中，大數據、雲端運算、人工智慧（AI）等新技術正在對會計領域產生重大影響。於此之際，美國會計師（AICPA）考試藍圖內容也跟著部分變更，改變方針強調新技術對會計的影響，未來執業的會計師更需要瞭解企業的業務，包括業務流程、資訊系統、資料流向、財務業務風險和相關的內部控制。另一方面，數據治理（Data Governance）日益重要，善用AI 以協助或增強人類的決策能力，也是未來趨勢。會計教育的挑戰不僅是傳授國際財務報導準則（IFRSs）、審計等專業知識，基礎領域，更包括數位思維（Digital mindset）和數據分析的養成，以及對企業組織中的系統和組織控制機制的瞭解。也就是說，隨著業務流程的自動化，學習會計不再是加強計算，而是更強調理解和應用概念。在數據分析方面，學習會計能夠更有效地使用新技術和新的數據來源，提升工作效率。面對企業將 IT 外包、將資料存儲在雲端，學習會計可以理解會計師如何對財報或內部控制的評估，此外，遠距工作對查核實務的影響，也可以從學習會計一窺堂奧。________________________________________相較於前一版的內容，本版增訂部分僅說明如下：• 配合國際會計準則，修改各章相關文字內容，提升企業會計資訊透明度。• 新增會計思維和數據分析的概念。• 加強「本期綜合損益＝本期損益＋其他綜合損益」之關聯性。• 為讓初次學習者對「綜合損益表」有完整概念，本書前五章，於編製綜合損益表時，除列示本期損益外，並列示「其他綜合損益$0」，以完整呈現綜合損益表之樣態。• 配合國際會計準則之修正，更新「流動資產」與「流動負債」之定義。• 更新IFRS 15「客戶合約之收入」觀念。• 配合IFRS 9、15 修改應收款項與投資。• 新增IAS 37 負債準備及或有負債主題，豐富會計主題。• 更新日常經濟活動與公報相關實例，協助學習者瞭解會計與商業活動的關聯性。• 更新新聞短訊，呈現時下企業實務運作情況。• 新增部分題庫，提供更新學習成果考核依據。

兩河流域的算術泥板、搜尋引擎、巡航定速…數學早已是人類文明進程中的要角。斯德哥爾摩大學最年輕的博士Stefan Buijsman以趣味十足，引人入勝的筆法，向讀者解釋生活中無處不在的數學概念，及數學與哲學、心理學、歷史背後的關聯。Thousands of years ago the inhabitants of Mesopotamia became the first to use numbers. Since then, mathematics has been unstoppable. It's behind almost everything, from search-engines to cruise-control, from coffee-makers to timetables.But now that we hardly ever need to do arithmetic, how relevant is mathematics to everyday life? Pluses and Minuses demonstrates the role mathematics plays in human endeavour. It answers questions such as: What is life without numbers? Is the usefulness of mathematics mere chance? How can we get a grip on uncertainty? Stefan Buijsman's richly entertaining guide makes connections between philosophy, psychology and history, while explaining the wonderful world of mathematics for absolutely everyone.Born in 1995, Stefan gained a master's degree in philosophy in Leiden at the age of eighteen, after which he moved from Sweden to work on a PhD.

If you find yourself longing for a disconnected world where information is not always at your fingertips, you may eventually be as useful as the carriage maker post-Henry Ford. It's practically impossible to know where the marriage of imagination and technology will take us (sorry Betamax and Kodak), and the only certainty is that in the networked world we will only become more intertwined. Is it possible to not become hopelessly tangled? Joshua Cooper Ramo, a policy expert who has advised the most powerful nations and corporations, says yes--if you are ready to ride the disruption. Drawing on examples from business, science, and politics, Ramo illuminates our trans

These molecules provided the impetus for early exploration, and made possible the voyages of discovery that ensued. The molecules resulted in grand feats of engineering and spurred advances in medicine and law; they determined what we now eat, drink, and wear. A change as small as the position of an atom can lead to enormous alterations in the properties of a substance-which, in turn, can result in great historical shifts. With lively prose and an eye for colorful and unusual details, Le Couteur and Burreson offer a novel way to understand the shaping of civilization and the workings of our contemporary world.
