This is a highly respected classic popular science work, recommended by many institutions as a stepping stone to mathematics, is a must read for college students in the field of information.

Mathematics is not only the summary and induction of facts in nature, but also the result of abstract thinking. In “The Beauty of Mathematics”, Dr. Wu Jun focused on his understanding of mathematics and information processing, and expressed the beauty of mathematics in THE IT field, especially in speech recognition, natural language processing and information search. These are hot technical topics in the age of intelligence.

The book also uses a lot of space to introduce allusions to various fields, is the liberal arts students can also understand the popular science reading. Becoming a master of a field is an accident, but more inevitable. Its inevitability is the thinking method of the masters. Through this book, we can understand their ordinariness and excellence, understand the reasons for their success, and experience the wonderful lives of those who truly understand the beauty of mathematics.

The book has won the eighth Wenjin Book Award of The National Library of China, the Book Nomination Award of the fifth China Excellent Publications Award, and was selected as one of the “recommended 100 Excellent Books to The National Youth in 2014”. The first edition has won the best seller of the whole industry in 2012-2013. The Beauty of Mathematics has been selected as a required reading for many times. “The Beauty of Mathematics” gives readers, especially the young people who are in college or even high school, the inspiration of beautiful mathematics. The author hopes that the young people who do engineering in China can experience the correct way to do things in the information technology industry from “The Beauty of Mathematics”, so as to achieve success in both career and life.

The third edition adds three new chapters on three of today’s most popular topics: the mathematical foundations of blockchain, the principles of quantum communication, and the mathematical limits of artificial intelligence.

 

3. Clean code

 

“There are two reasons to read this book: first, you’re a programmer; Second, you want to be a better programmer. Good, IT needs better programmers!” While bad code can run, if it’s untidy, it can sink a development team, and poorly written code consumes countless hours and resources every year. But it is not inevitable. Robert C. Martin, the renowned software expert, offers a revolutionary vision. Along with his colleagues at Object Mentor, he has distilled the values of software craftsmanship from their best agile practices about clean code to make you a better programmer — once you start reading this book. What do you need to do to read this book? You’ll read code — lots of code. This book will make you think about what is right code and what is wrong code. More importantly, this book will force you to reassess your professional values and commitment to your craft.

4. Refactoring: Improving the design of existing code (version 2)

 

The new edition follows the structure of version 1, explaining in turn what refactoring is, why it is needed, how to identify code that needs refactoring by “bad smell,” and how to successfully implement refactoring in practice (regardless of the programming language). ● Understand the refactoring process and basic principles of refactoring; ● Fast and effective application of a variety of reconstruction techniques, improve the expression and maintainability of the program; ● Identify “bad smells” in code that indicate areas that need refactoring; ● In-depth understanding of various refactoring techniques, each of which contains four sections: explanation, motivation, practice and example; ● Build robust tests to support refactoring; ● Understand the trade-offs and challenges of refactoring.

6. Top of the Wave (4th Edition) (First and second volumes)

 

This is not a history of the tech industry, but a must-read for IT people in the digital age, not for IT people.

 

The fourth edition of “Top of the Wave” is a book about the rise and fall of the Internet and the IT industry. The content in the book was originally published on the Google Bulletin board by Dr. Wu Jun. After several rewrites and reconstructions, the fourth edition added a quarter of the content, and rewrote and updated other chapters. For more than a century, there have always been companies that have been fortunate, consciously or unconsciously, to be on the cusp of technological revolution. For decades, they represented the wave of technology, until the next wave came along. Starting more than 100 years ago, AT&T, IBM, Apple, Intel, Microsoft, Cisco, Yahoo, Google, and perhaps tesla, have all had the good fortune to rise to the top. Although they come from different fields, and some of them have declined or are in decline, they have all been extremely brilliant. Behind the rise and fall of these companies, there is an inevitable law. “Top of the Wave” systematically introduces the essence of the success of these companies and the development of the technology industry over a hundred years. This book not only tells the history of the technology industry, but also reveals its laws.

Classic books required (Professional books required)

1. Deep learning

 

Deep learning is a branch of machine learning that enables computers to learn experiences and understand the world through hierarchical concepts. Because computers can derive knowledge from experience, there is no need for a human to formally define all the knowledge a computer needs. Hierarchical concepts allow computers to learn complex concepts by constructing simple concepts, and these hierarchical graph structures will have deep layers. This book will cover many topics in the field of deep learning.

This book provides background information on mathematics and related concepts, including linear algebra, probability theory, information theory, numerical optimization, and machine learning. At the same time, it also introduces the industry practitioners used in deep learning techniques, including depth of feedforward network, regularization, optimization algorithm, convolution, sequence modeling and practice methods, and research, such as natural language processing, speech recognition, computer vision, online recommendation systems, bioinformatics, and video games. Finally, a number of research areas are provided, covering theoretical topics including linear factor models, autoencoders, representation learning, structured probability models, Monte Carlo methods, partition functions, approximate inference, and depth generation models.

2. Artificial Intelligence (2nd Edition)

 

This book is an artificial intelligence textbook carefully written by the author based on years of teaching experience, which can be called “the encyclopedia of artificial intelligence”. The book covers a brief history of artificial intelligence, search method, knowledge search, game of logic of the search, artificial intelligence, knowledge representation, production system, expert system, machine learning and neural network, genetic algorithm (ga), natural language processing, automatic programming, robot technology, advanced computer game, the history and future of artificial intelligence and other topics. This book provides rich supporting resources for teaching, which is suitable for teaching materials of artificial intelligence related majors in colleges and universities, as well as readers who are interested in artificial intelligence related fields.

3. A hundred face Deep learning algorithm engineer takes you to an interview
