Microprocesadores Fundamentos y Aplicaciones
No full textEste trabajo ha sido desarrollado gracias a la interacción como docente universitario en la enseñanza teórica y práctica de la materia de microprocesadores con diversos grupos de estudiantes por alrededor de 15 años. Es con sus exigencias/ cuestionamientos y colaboraciones con sus proyectos prácticos implementados en los cursos dictados/ que se ha podido construir una guía comprensiva/ que trate de responder de una forma adecuada las múltiples dudas de los estudiantes en su proceso de aprendizaje. La disponibilidad de tiempo en el aula de clase muchas veces no es suficiente para responder las inquietudes de los estudiantes; así que/ se espera que con este trabajo se contribuya a proporcionar al lector un cúmulo de información que le ayuden de una manera práctica y escalonada a comprender la base teórica de los microprocesadores de Intel y sus derivados (capítulos 1 al 15)/ con implementaciones prácticas básicas (capítulo 16). Al final se citan libros de referencia que pueden consultarse para profundizar los temas tratados.https://mds.marshall.edu/oa-textbooks/1437/thumbnail.jp

Mathematics for Elementary Teachers
No full textThis book will help you to understand elementary mathematics more deeply/ gain facility with creating and using mathematical notation/ develop a habit of looking for reasons and creating mathematical explanations/ and become more comfortable exploring unfamiliar mathematical situations.The primary goal of this book is to help you learn to think like a mathematician in some very specific ways. You will:• Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. You will develop and demonstrate this skill by working on difficult problems/ making incremental progress/ and revising solutions to problems as you learn more.• Reason abstractly and quantitatively. You will demonstrate this skill by learning to represent situations using mathematical notation (abstraction) as well as creating and testing examples (making situations more concrete).• Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. You will be expected to create both written and verbal explanations for your solutions to problems. The most important questions in this class are “Why?” and “How do you know you\u27re right?” Practice asking these questions of yourself/ of your professor/ and of your fellow students.Throughout the book/ you will learn how to learn mathematics on you own by reading/ working on problems/ and making sense of new ideas on your own and in collaboration with other students in the class.https://mds.marshall.edu/oa-textbooks/1493/thumbnail.jp
