Modern Embedded Computing

An open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International licence This book invites readers to rediscover Spain in the modern era-not as a fading empire relegated to Europe's margins, but as an active and often surprising participant in global transformations. Far from confined to the Iberian Peninsula, Spain was embedded in dense transnational networks that spanned the Americas, Europe, Africa, and Asia. The emergence of citizenship and new constitutional cultures, the movement of slaves and political exiles across national borders, and shifting imperial dynamics are but a small sample of world phenomena in which Spain played a decisive yet still underexplored role. By focusing on Spain, the book provides a fresh look at Europe's dynamic interactions with the wider world that moves beyond traditional 'Great Powers' analyses. In doing so, Iberian Crossroads is both a bold reinterpretation of Spain's past and a powerful call to rethink how we write global history

A lively, accessible history of mathematics throughout the ages and across the globe Mathematics is fundamental to our daily lives. Science, computing, economics—all aspects of modern life rely on some kind of maths. But how did our ancestors think about numbers? How did they use mathematics to explain and understand the world around them? Where do numbers even come from? In this Little History, Snezana Lawrence traces the fascinating history of mathematics, from the Egyptians and Babylonians to Renaissance masters and enigma codebreakers.Like literature, music, or philosophy, mathematics has a rich history of breakthroughs, creativity and experimentation. And its story is a global one. We see Chinese Mathematical Art from 200 BCE, the invention of algebra in Baghdad’s House of Wisdom, and sangaku geometrical theorems at Japanese shrines.Lawrence goes beyond the familiar names of Newton and Pascal, exploring the prominent role women have played in the history of maths, including Emmy N

《數學小史》用親切易懂的語言，帶領讀者走進數學的歷史長河，從古埃及與巴比倫時期，一路走到現代密碼學與數學理論的發展。書中不只介紹牛頓、帕斯卡等熟悉的名字，也細細描寫中國、阿拉伯、日本等地的數學成就，更特別介紹女性數學家的貢獻。這是一本融合人文與科學的溫暖數學故事書，適合對數字與知識充滿好奇的你。A lively, accessible history of mathematics throughout the ages and across the globeMathematics is fundamental to our daily lives.

This book introduces a new approach to embedded development, grounded in modern, industry-standard JavaScript. Using the same language that powers web browsers and Node.js, the Moddable SDK empowers IoT developers to apply many of the same tools and techniques used to build sophisticated websites and mobile apps. The Moddable SDK enables you to unlock the full potential of inexpensive microcontrollers like the ESP32 and ESP8266.Coding for these microcontrollers in C or C++ with the ESP-IDF and Arduino SDKs works for building basic products but doesn't scale to handle the increasingly complex IoT products that customers expect. The Moddable SDK adds the lightweight XS JavaScript engine to those traditional environments, accelerating development with JavaScript while keeping the performance benefits of a native SDK. Building user interfaces and communicating over the network are two areas where JavaScript really shines.IoT Development for ESP32 and ESP8266 with JavaScript shows you how t

Americans have long been suspicious of experts and elites. This new history explains why so many have believed that science has the power to corrupt American culture. Americans today are often skeptical of scientific authority.Many conservatives dismiss climate change and Darwinism as liberal fictions, arguing that “tenured radicals” have coopted the sciences and other disciplines. Some progressives, especially in the universities, worry that science’s celebration of objectivity and neutrality masks its attachment to Eurocentric and patriarchal values. As we grapple with the implications of climate change and revolutions in fields from biotechnology to robotics to computing, it is crucial to understand how scientific authority functions—and where it has run up against political and cultural barriers.Science under Fire reconstructs a century of battles over the cultural implications of science in the United States. Andrew Jewett reveals a persistent current of criticism which maintains
