Math Toolkit for Real-Time Programming

Jack Crenshaw

Taylor & Francis, Jan 9, 2000 - Computers - 466 pages

The author of the "Programmer's Toolbox" column shows how to use powerful math functions to achieve optimal real-time performance in programming. Along the way, readers will gain new understanding of math fundamentals, learn how to write more robust software for real-time systems, and discover how to implement math algorithms efficiently and accurately. The toolkit is bundled with a CD-ROM containing an arsenal of math algorithms to make the learning process easy and fun.

About the author

Jack Crenshaw holds a Ph.D. in physics from Auburn University (specialties in math, electronics, and advanced dynamics). He wrote his first computer program in 1956 and his first microcomputer software a real-time, floating-point, Kalman filter-driven controller in 1976. He has been working with real-time software for embedded systems ever since, and thinks he might be beginning to get the hang of it. He is currently a senior principal design engineer for Alliant TechSystems, Inc., a contributing editor for Embedded Systems Programming magazine, and author of the popular 'Programmer's Toolbox' column. In his spare time, he likes to dabble in compiler theory, guidance and control theory, and help rehabilitate orphaned and injured wildlife.
