商品描述
GIS technology and applications have advanced as fast as computing technology to enhance business analytics, predictive modeling, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence. The third edition addresses these new topics of interest to students and practitioners who are using geographic information systems but have a limited mathematical background. Thoroughly updated and reorganized to focus more on applications and problem solving by mathematical techniques, this book explains the basic architecture of computing as it relates to GIS, includes new application examples of selected mathematical methods, and introduces 3D modeling, machine learning, and more.
Features
- Explains the basic mathematics that underpins the manipulation of spatially related data and adds new technology direction such as machine learning.
- Builds logically step-by-step from simple basic assumptions to real world GIS applications to illustrate mathematical techniques covered in each chapter.
- Explains computing fundamentals including databases, and modeling techniques such as network modeling and topology overlay.
- Includes two new chapters focused on how computing relates to mathematics, and new popular applications of GIS which connect with data science and artificial intelligence.
- Prepares today's GIS students who do not have STEM backgrounds to follow the thought processes behind the practice of GIS.
This textbook is written for those who use global information systems and applications but have a limited mathematical background. It explains the mathematics behind the applications, making it an accessible book for both undergraduate and graduate students in GIS, Computer Science, Geography, and Geomatics.

GIS 技術和應用的發展速度與計算技術一樣迅速，以增強商業分析、預測建模、虛擬實境和人工智慧。本書第三版針對這些對於使用地理資訊系統但數學背景有限的學生和從業者感興趣的新主題進行了全面更新和重新組織，更加專注於應用和通過數學技術解決問題。本書解釋了計算的基本架構與 GIS 的關聯，包含了選定數學方法的新應用範例，並介紹了 3D 建模、機器學習等內容。
特色
- 解釋了支撐空間相關數據操作的基本數學，並增加了如機器學習等新技術方向。
- 從簡單的基本假設邏輯性地逐步構建到現實世界的 GIS 應用，以說明每章所涵蓋的數學技術。
- 解釋了計算基礎，包括數據庫和建模技術，如網絡建模和拓撲疊加。
- 包含兩個新章節，專注於計算如何與數學相關，以及與數據科學和人工智慧相連的新流行 GIS 應用。
- 為當今沒有 STEM 背景的 GIS 學生準備，幫助他們理解 GIS 實踐背後的思考過程。
本教科書是為那些使用全球資訊系統和應用但數學背景有限的人士撰寫的。它解釋了應用背後的數學，使其成為 GIS、計算機科學、地理學和地理資訊學本科生和研究生都能輕鬆閱讀的書籍。
作者簡介
Gordon Ye is an instructor at the City College of San Francisco who developed and taught a well-regarded GIS certificate program from 1999 to 2019 over a span of 21 years. He has a master's degree in physics from University of California at Berkeley in 1993 and started specializing in Geographic Information Systems at the UC Berkeley City Regional Planning department as a research assistant. His research projects include modeling wildfire susceptibility and modeling real estate value impacts by environmental events. In 1996 he started working for San Francisco-based Pacific Gas and Electric Co. as a GIS analyst and later as an application engineer, during which he developed GIS mapping systems for management of both gas and electric infrastructure. During 2008-2010 he worked briefly for a defense contractor as a software engineer and developed automated tools to build 3D virtual reality models of foreign war zones for military training games. He returned to work for Pacific Gas and Electric Co. after the devastating gas pipeline explosion at San Bruno, California in 2010. Since 2011 he has been focused on modeling gas pipeline integrity risks such as corrosion and earthquakes, and their potential impacts to people and the environment.
Peter Dale trained as a land surveyor and worked for seven years in Uganda before entering the academic world. He ultimately became a professor in land information management at the University College London. He is an Honorary President of the International Federation of Surveyors and was awarded an OBE in recognition of his services to surveying. He is now retired and lives in a remote area of Scotland.

**戈登·葉**（Gordon Ye）是舊金山城市學院的講師，於1999年至2019年間開發並教授了一個備受推崇的地理資訊系統（GIS）證書課程，歷時21年。他於1993年獲得加州大學伯克利分校的物理碩士學位，並開始在加州大學伯克利分校城市區域規劃系擔任研究助理，專注於地理資訊系統。他的研究項目包括建模野火易感性和環境事件對房地產價值影響的建模。1996年，他開始在位於舊金山的太平洋煤氣與電力公司（Pacific Gas and Electric Co.）擔任GIS分析師，後來成為應用工程師，期間他為氣體和電力基礎設施的管理開發了GIS地圖系統。在2008年至2010年間，他短暫地在一家國防承包商擔任軟體工程師，開發自動化工具以建立外國戰區的3D虛擬實境模型，用於軍事訓練遊戲。2010年，加州聖布魯諾發生嚴重的燃氣管道爆炸後，他回到太平洋煤氣與電力公司工作。自2011年以來，他專注於建模燃氣管道的完整性風險，如腐蝕和地震，以及這些風險對人類和環境的潛在影響。
**彼得·戴爾**（Peter Dale）接受土地測量師的訓練，並在烏干達工作了七年後進入學術界。他最終成為倫敦大學學院的土地資訊管理教授。他是國際測量師聯合會的名譽會長，並因其對測量工作的貢獻而獲得OBE（英帝國勳章）。他現在已退休，居住在蘇格蘭的一個偏遠地區。
