This lesson starts a new segment about Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) — an important set of concepts critical to understanding any modern software, not just modern embedded software. As usual in ...

Binary and hexadecimal numbers systems underpin the way modern computer systems work. Low-level interactions with hexadecimal (hex) and binary are uncommon in the world of Java programming, but ...

Discusses the importance of number systems, tracing their origins from early human counting methods using fingers to modern numeral systems. It explains the decimal system, place value, and how ...

The Babylonians used separate combinations of two symbols to represent every single number from 1 to 59. That sounds pretty confusing, doesn’t it? Our decimal system seems simple by comparison, with ...

Parallel programming exploits the capabilities of multicore systems by dividing computational tasks into concurrently executed subtasks. This approach is fundamental to maximising performance and ...

UNIX Systems Programming: Communication, Concurrency, and Threads is the successor to the 1995 Practical UNIX Programming: A Guide to Communication, Concurrency, and Multithreading. This updated ...

Multi-agent systems (MAS) represent a paradigm in computer science where multiple interacting agents operate within a shared environment to negotiate, collaborate, and solve complex problems. Recent ...

The Kakeya conjecture predicts how much room you need to point a line in every direction. In one number system after another — with one important exception — mathematicians have been proving it true.
