Key takeaways

  • Lin Yi-bing belongs to computer science; place it in that map before memorising details.
  • Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
  • Connect Lin Yi-bing to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
  • Reproduce the core statement of Lin Yi-bing from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

From 1983 to 1985, he served as a second lieutenant instructor at the Communication and Electronics School of the ROC Army in Taiwan. From 1990 to 1995, he worked as a research scientist in the Applied Research Area at Bell Communications Research in Morristown, New Jersey. Between 1995 and 1996, he was a TRB review committee member for the Telecommunication Laboratories (TL) of Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd. Since 1995, he has been a professor in the Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering at National Chiao Tung University. In 1996, he served as deputy director of the Microelectronics and Information Systems Research Center (MIRC) at NCTU, and from 1996 to 1997, he was a consultant for the Computer & Communication Research Laboratories at the Industrial Technology Research Institute (CCL/ITRI). From 1997 to 1999, he was chairman of the Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering at National Chiao Tung University. Since 1999, he has also been an adjunct research fellow at Academia Sinica. Beginning in 2002, he has served as chair professor in the Department of Computer Science and Information Management at Providence University in Shalu, Taiwan. From 2004 to 2006, he was dean of the Office of Research and Development at National Chiao Tung University, and from 2006 to 2011, he served as dean of the College of Computer Science at NCTU. He has been a member of the International Advisory Board of the Alpine Research and Development Lab for Networks and Telematics at the University of Trento in Italy. Since 2009, he has been a member of the Board of Directors of Chunghwa Telecommunications, and since 2011, he has served as vice president of National Chiao Tung University.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Lin Yi-bing

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Lin Yi-bing claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In computer science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Lin Yi-bing before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Lin Yi-bing ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Lin Yi-bing

In research
Lin Yi-bing appears in computer science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry
Engineering practice reuses Lin Yi-bing in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom
Lin Yi-bing is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1961 births, Academic staff of the National Chiao Tung University, Fellows of the Association for Computing Machinery, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life
Look for Lin Yi-bing outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
