Sommario/riassunto |
|
Is there life after postmodernism? Many claim that it sounded the death knell for history, art, ideology, science, possibly all of Western philosophy, and certainly for the concept of reality itself. Responding to essential questions regarding whether the humanities can remain politically and academically relevant amid this twenty-first-century uncertainty, Why the Humanities Matter offers a guided tour of the modern condition, calling upon thinkers in a variety of disciplines to affirm essential concepts such as truth, goodness, and beauty. Offering a lens of "new humanism," Frederick Aldama also provides a liberating examination of the current cultural repercussions of assertions by such revolutionary theorists as Said, Foucault, Lacan, and Derrida, as well as Latin Americanists such as Sommer and Mignolo. Emphasizing pedagogy and popular culture with equal verve, and writing in colloquial yet multifaceted prose, Aldama presents an enlightening way to explore what "culture" actually does—who generates it and how it shapes our identities—and the role of academia in sustaining it. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This problem and solution-oriented textbook covers standard control engineering tasks as well as advanced modern control techniques. Throughout, students are provided examples of control engineering problems with step-by-step solutions. Each chapter addresses basic ideas, key control concepts, and definitions and provides a compilation of theoretical results used for the solution of the problems. The book is |

aimed not only at engineering students and practitioners but also computer science students and software engineers who, for instance, are working on the design of autonomous cars or with digital twins and need some knowledge of basic control concepts and advanced modern control techniques. The book addresses graduate students and readers in the overlap of engineering and computer science. The book aims to further their understanding of theoretical results learned in undergraduate control classes or in textbooks; the book shows them how to apply their knowledge in exercises to small problems and to see how some examples of problems can be solved. Whenever possible, the problems have been solved by means of the open-source software GNU Octave. In some cases, also the free open-source mathematical software Scilab has been used. Provides problems and solutions for standard control engineering tasks and advanced modern control techniques; Provides a collection of examples of control engineering problems with step-by-step solutions; Addresses control concepts and provides a compilation of theoretical results used for the solution of the problems. |
