預防下一場疫病大流行發生成為各國重要議題。Bill Gates以世界級專家的知識與蓋茲基金會對抗重大疾病的經驗為基礎，深入淺出解析傳染病，並提出國與國之間，政府與民間單位聯手合作，不只能阻擋下一場疫病，更有機會消滅所有呼吸道相關疾病。A new book by Bill Gates that lays out a clear plan to prevent future pandemics The COVID-19 pandemic isn't over. But even as governments around the world try to get it under control, they're also starting to talk about what happens next. How can we prevent another pandemic from killing millions of people and devastating the global economy? Can we even hope to accomplish this? Bill Gates believes the answer is yes, and he has written a largely upbeat book that lays out clearly and convincingly what the world should learn from COVID-19, explains the science of fighting pandemics, and suggests what all of us can do to help prevent another one. Given the worldwide success of How to Avoid a Climate Disaster (which debuted at #1 on the New York Times best seller list), Gates is more respected than ever for his approach to solving the world's biggest challenges.

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.

《Spring Boot in Action》是一本專為熟悉 Spring Framework 的開發者所寫的實戰指南，聚焦於如何運用 Spring Boot 大幅簡化 Java 應用程式的開發流程。Spring Boot 以「約定優於設定」為核心理念，讓開發者跳過繁瑣的組態工作，快速啟動專案，將心力集中在應用程式的行為與商業邏輯上。作者 Craig Walls 以多年 Spring 開發與教學經驗，透過清楚且實用的範例，說明如何有效運用 Spring Boot 的自動組態機制，同時在需要時進行客製化調整。書中涵蓋測試、部署、Actuator 監控、命令列工具（CLI）、以及與 Groovy、Grails 的整合應用，完整呈現 Spring Boot 在實務開發中的優勢。本書內容務實、節奏明快，適合希望提升開發效率、減少設定負擔的 Java 與 Spring 開發者閱讀，是理解與上手 Spring Boot 的重要入門與進階參考。Although Spring Framework simplifies enterprise Java development, it can require a lot from developers in terms of framework configuration. Spring Boot radically streamlines the process of creating Spring applications by employing automatic configuration, along with a programming model built around established conventions for build-time and runtime dependencies. It also provides a component that gives insight into the internals of a running application and a handy CLI that can be used to write command-line scripts in Groovy. Developers who have used Spring Boot say that th

Recent developments in model-predictive control promise remarkable opportunities for designing multi-input, multi-output control systems and improving the control of single-input, single-output system

Discover the nonlinear methods and tools needed to design real-world microwave circuits with this tutorial guide. Balancing theoretical background with practical tools and applications, it covers everything from the basic properties of nonlinear systems such as gain compression, intermodulation and harmonic distortion, to nonlinear circuit analysis and simulation algorithms, and state-of-the-art equivalent circuit and behavioral modeling techniques. Model formulations discussed in detail include time-domain transistor compact models and frequency-domain linear and nonlinear scattering models. Learn how to apply these tools to designing real circuits with the help of a power amplifier design example, which covers all stages from active device model extraction and the selection of bias and terminations, through to performance verification. Realistic examples, illustrative insights and clearly conveyed mathematical formalism make this an essential learning aid for both professionals worki

In the traditional curriculum, students rarely study nonlinear differential equations and nonlinear systems due to the difficulty or impossibility of computing explicit solutions manually. Although th
