About the Book
The first part gets students started with Arduino while introducing basics principles of digital systems (Analog to digital converter, binary system, PWM mode, serial data communication, using sensors, voltage dividers ..).
The second part visits transistors and diodes.
The third part is an introduction to logic gates and logic circuits. We visit gates, S-R latch, flip-flops, binary counter, shift-registers. Arduino is used as a protoboard to provide LOW and HIGH.
The last two parts cover some basics configurations of op-amp as well as some AC electronics.

On Java 8
Bruce EckelBy the author of "Thinking in Java," covering version 8 of the Java programming language (with updates to Java 17). Intended for “dedicated beginners,” it doesn’t assume you know anything about programming and takes you through the material step-by-step. However, I assume you are able to figure things out. It’s not a “dummies” or “idiot’s” guide.
R Programming for Data Science
Roger D. PengThis book brings the fundamentals of R programming to you, using the same material developed as part of the industry-leading Johns Hopkins Data Science Specialization. The skills taught in this book will lay the foundation for you to begin your journey learning data science. Printed copies of this book are available through Lulu.
