The LLL Algorithm

Although numerical approximation and statistical inference are traditionally covered as entirely separate subjects, they are intimately connected through the common purpose of making estimations with partial information. This book explores these connections from a game and decision theoretic perspective, showing how they constitute a pathway to developing simple and general methods for solving fundamental problems in both areas. It illustrates these interplays by addressing problems related to numerical homogenization, operator adapted wavelets, fast solvers, and Gaussian processes. This perspective reveals much of their essential anatomy and greatly facilitates advances in these areas, thereby appearing to establish a general principle for guiding the process of scientific discovery. This book is designed for graduate students, researchers, and engineers in mathematics, applied mathematics, and computer science, and particularly researchers interested in drawing on and developing this

This book presents a new meta-heuristic algorithm, inspired by the self-defense mechanisms of plants in nature. Numerous published works have demonstrated the various self-defense mechanisms (survival

★ 前華爾街量化分析師揭露：演算法如何操控你的未來★ 大數據黑暗面全面曝光：看不見的歧視與不公平我們以為世界正變得更公平——由機器取代人類做決策，似乎能消除偏見。但真相，可能正好相反。在這個「演算法主宰」的時代，你能否錄取學校、拿到工作、申請貸款，甚至保險費率高低，都悄悄被一套看不見的數學模型決定。這些系統看似客觀，卻無法被檢驗，也無從質疑，一旦出錯，影響卻會層層放大。數學家暨資料科學家凱西．歐尼爾，以親身經驗揭開大數據的陰暗面：這些模型不只沒有消除不平等，反而強化既有的階級與歧視，讓弱勢更難翻身。本書如同一場警醒之旅，帶你看見科技背後不為人知的權力運作。NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A former Wall Street quant sounds the alarm on Big Data and the mathematical models that threaten to rip apart our social fabric—with a new afterword“A manual for the twenty-first-century citizen . . . relevant and urgent.”—Financial TimesNATIONAL BOOK AWARD LONGLIST • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The New York Times Book Review • The Boston Globe • Wired • Fortune • Kirkus Reviews • The Guardian • Nature • On PointWe live in the age of the algorithm. Increasingly, the decisions that affect our lives—where we go to school, whether we can get a job or a loan, how much we pay for health insurance—are being made not by humans, but by machines. In theory, this should lead t

An encyclopedia of expertise, showing how to do everything from making paper aeroplanes to solving a riddle.With this book by their side, every curious child will gain a dazzling range of skills for real-life adventures, from practical skills (such as how to read a map and how to tie knots), to craft activities (such as how to make slime and how to make papier-maché), to outdoorsy skills (such as how to star spot without a telescope and how to build a den), to brainy skills (such as how to write an algorithm and how to calculate Pi), to life skills (such as how to give a compliment and how to pack a suitcase) – and much more!Every skill comes with the seal of approval from top experts, and their stellar tips are threaded throughout the book, too. For example, an aircraft designer offers tips on making the ultimate paper plane; a lunar scientist points out what to spot on the Moon; a chemical engineer shares insights about making slime; and an eight-times world memory champion reveals h
