Damit die Fülle des Stoffes über­ sichtlich bleibt, wird bevorzugt an den Anfang eines Abschnit­ tes die Aussage gestellt. Anschließend erst wird die Herleitung und Interpretation gegeben. Der Vorteil liegt darin, daß die Herleitungen kürzer werden. Beweise werden nur in den Fällen geführt, in denen sie das Verständnis fördern. Damit trotz des hohen Abstraktionsgrades und der kompakten Darstellung der Stoff verständlich bleibt, werden die entschei­ denden Aussagen durch viele Graphiken ausführlich ergänzt. Ein Schwerpunkt des Buches sind die numerischen Methoden der Signal- und Systemanalyse. Die numerischen Beispiele mit dem Hinweis (mit Rechnerunterstützung) sind rechnerunabhängig for­ muliert. Zu jedem Beispiel wird eine \"Operationsfolge\" gegeben, die den Algorithmus in einer problemorientierten Sprache be­ schreibt. Man findet in Abschnitt 19 eine ausführliche rechner­ unabhängige Referenzliste dieser Operationen. Die Operationsfolge beschreibt außerdem den Input für ein lauf­ fähiges Basic-Programm, mit dem alle Beispiele des Buches nachvollzogen werden können. Obwohl eine struktierte Compiler­ Sprache die Rechenzeiten der benutzten Routinen erheblich verkürzen würde, sprach für einen Basic-Interpreter, daß er einerseits auf jedem Personal-Computer verfügbar ist und ande­ rerseits ein Interpreterprogramm zum Experimentieren geeigneter erscheint.

It is for Internet of Things enthusiasts who want to use more sophisticated hardware than the Raspberry Pi or the Arduino can provide. Whether you are an engineering student, a DIYer, an inventor, or a budding electronics enthusiast, this book delivers accessible, easy-to-succeed instructions for using an advanced microcomputing platform.  What You Will Learn  • Set up and run the BeagleBone Black for the first time • Learn the basics of microcomputing and Linux using the command line and easy kernel mods • Make introductory projects with Python, JavaScript, BoneScript, and Node.js • Explore physical computing and simple circuits using buttons, LEDs, sensors, and motors • Discover the unique features of the BeagleBone Black and its real-time computing functions • Build intermediate level audio and video applications • Assemble and add ingredients for creating Internet of Things prototypes  In Detail  There are many single-board controllers and computers such as Arduino, Udoo, or Raspberry Pi, which can be used to create electronic prototypes on circuit boards. However, when it comes to creating more advanced projects, BeagleBone Black provides a sophisticated alternative. Mastering the BeagleBone Black enables you to combine it with sensors and LEDs, add buttons, and marry it to a variety of add-on boards. You can transform this tiny device into the brain for an embedded application or an endless variety of electronic inventions and prototypes. With dozens of how-tos, this book kicks off with the basic steps for setting up and running the BeagleBone Black for the first time, from connecting the necessary hardware and using the command line with Linux commands to installing new software and controlling your system remotely. Following these recipes, more advanced examples take you through scripting, debugging, and working with software source files, eventually working with the Linux kernel. Subsequently, you will learn how to exploit the board's real-time functions. We will then discover exciting methods for using sound and video with the system before marching forward into an exploration of recipes for building Internet of Things projects. Finally, the book finishes with a dramatic arc upward into outer space, when you explore ways to build projects for tracking and monitoring satellites.  Style and approach  This comprehensive recipe book deconstructs a complex, often confusing piece of technology, and transforms it to become accessible and fun with snappy, unintimidating prose, and extensive easy-to-succeed instructions.","brand":"Packt Publishing Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51020433555799,"sku":"9781783982929","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"the-mobile-frontier-9781933820552","title":"The Mobile Frontier","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Rosenfeld Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51043289071959,"sku":"9781933820552","price":35.14,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"lehr-und-ubungsbuch-fur-die-rechner-hp-29c-hp-19c-und-hp-67-hp-97-9783528141585","title":"Lehr- und Übungsbuch für die Rechner","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51044084875607,"sku":"9783528141585","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783528141585.jpg?v=1750960497"},{"product_id":"raspberry-pi-robotics-projects-second-edition-9781785280146","title":"Raspberry Pi Robotics Projects  Second Edition","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Packt Publishing Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51138367127895,"sku":"9781785280146","price":22.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"brilliant-office-2007-9780132058919","title":"Brilliant Office 2007","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSteve Johnson\u003c\/i\u003e has written more than 35 books on a variety of computer software and is a founder of Perspection, Inc. which is committed to providing information and training to help people use software more effectively.
