資料結構(Data Structures) 是一門電腦科學領域的基礎課程，其目的是研究如何將資料有組織地存放到電腦記憶體中，以提升程式之執行效率的一門學問。因此，有良好的資料結構(Data Structure) 及有效率的演算法(Algorithm) 將可以大大的提升程式的執行效率。在電腦科學(Computer Science) 的領域中，我們如何透過電腦來取得即時有用的資訊，那就必須要將資料交由程式去運作，而「程式」就是由「資料結構」和「演算法」所構成的。 隨著資訊科技的進度，傳統資訊核心課程的理論之運用更顯得重要。因此，筆者特別加入目前重要的發展議題。例如：物聯網、智慧型機器人及大數據，其中以「智慧型機器人」為主題，加入不少相關的例子，並且將重要的理論，利用互動式圖解APP 方式來呈現。因為筆者在最近這幾年來專注於機器人及手機APP 的相關研究及各種比賽的經驗，想透過本書來分享給讀者在學習資料結構的同時，也能夠了解它們的各種運用。 動態展示演算法：這本書共有九個章節，每一章節筆者都利用圖解說明、循序漸進的表達方式，來引導學習者有效地學習資料結構，除此之外，特別加入「互動式APP 動態展示演算法的實際運作原理」之實作介面，它是利用 AppInventor 的視覺化程式語言所撰寫而成。如此，學生更容易了解老師上課講解的理論背後演算法的運作程序。

An indispensable reference to the development of the Chinese economy—past, present, and future.—DALE W. JORGENSON, Samuel W. Morris University Professor, Harvard University Since China undertook economic reform and opened its economy to the world in the late 1970s, its economy has been growing at an average annual rate of over 9 percent for more than four decades. No other economy in recorded history has grown at such a high rate and for such a long period as China has done. The questions that naturally arise are: Was the Chinese economy a miracle? Or was it a mere bubble? Will the Chinese economy begin to stagnate like the Japanese economy did in the 1990s, and perhaps decline? Will it be able to escape the “middle-income trap”? If it is not a miracle, can the Chinese development experience be replicated elsewhere? This book provides a comprehensive and detailed discussion of the remarkable growth of the Chinese economy over the past decades, by scrutinising the sources of e
