Simon Monk has a degree in cybernetics and computer science and a Ph.D. in software engineering.
Reviews
"Unfortunately, the usual books for "helping" with Arduino give sketches and explain bits and pieces without ever doing an overview of the system. Just got it today and have read over half of it; I've marked it up with pen to remind myself of crucial facts that I wish I had known a few months back. It's written at just the right level for beginners who are just learning about Arduino and microprocessors in general, and he points you to all the resources on the web for further information. So instead of having to copy and paste everyone else's code all the time, read this book to understand at least the basics of WHY things work in an Arduino the way they do."
"I bought this book to just to have the first book along side the "Next Steps" book."
"The explanations seem good to me but I may not be the best judge having forty years of programming experience."
"Nice programming guide for Arduino but was hoping for something more kid friendly."
"Great little book, excellent place to get started with Arduino."
"A good book to get you started with Arduino programming!"
"Useful lecture for introducing yourself in this world."
"Easy to understand and get familiar with Arduino world."

Reviews
"I NEVER thought of circuits this way and the author was able to explain that the active elements are the players in the story and everything else is a supporting cast. Bottom line, this is the book that I couldn't put down...and it is about some of the driest material you can find. I cannot recommend this book enough and I would pay triple just for the section where the author walks through a couple sample circuits, describes each component's function, and what would happen if that component failed."
"So far, there are many helpful tips and information to help me further the hobby along."
"Well written and organized."
"Read it slowly and use it as a reference."
"B&W pictures of some of the older devices are understandable but most of the pictures could've easily been replaced with new coloured ones."
"Good book that gives some insight to those new to troubleshooting."
"the Item Excellent and the seller is good thank you."
"Informative!"

Trigonometry Essentials Practice Workbook with Answers: Master Basic Trig Skills (Improve Your Math Fluency Series)
WHAT TO EXPECT : This is a workbook designed to offer plenty of practice with essential skills. The last chapter involves applications of trig identities, which is a challenging topic that will mostly interest more advanced students. CONTENTS : This workbook is conveniently divided up into 11 chapters so that students can focus on one trigonometry skill at a time. converting between degrees and radians; expressing sine, cosine, tangent, secant, cosecant, and cotangent as fractions by looking at right triangles; solving for unknown sides and angles in 45°-45°-90° and 30°-60°-90° right triangles; determining the sine, cosine, tangent, secant, cosecant, and cotangent of multiples of 30° and 45° up to 360° (working with both degrees and radians); practice finding the reference angle for angles in Quadrants II, III, and IV; finding the inverse trig functions; applying the law of sines and the law of cosines to solve for unknown sides and angles in acute and obtuse triangles; solving problems with trig identities (like the angle sum and difference formulas); and solving algebraic equations that feature basic trig functions. In this way, they can try to have fun improving on their records, which can help lend them confidence in their math skills. As a physics teacher, Dr. McMullen observed that many students lack fluency in fundamental math skills. RELATED BOOKS IN THE IMPROVE YOUR MATH FLUENCY SERIESTrigonometry Essentials Practice Workbook with Answers .

"I purchased this book with a book on Machine Learning in Python as well."
"but not with this book. Like i said, I started this book AFTER going through all those other materials so I'm not sure how it would fair with someone who is starting at absolute zero, but my honest opinion is that if i had started here and moved on i would have perhaps been a bit further at this point."
"This book would be great for anyone wanting to learn python or anyone wanting to learn programming in general."
"This is one of the best book for beginners who wants to learn Python."
"This book filled that expectations, the only thing I would improve is the Django section because it is a bit confusing."
"Good for python beginner."

Reviews
"For Potterheads worried that Fantastic Beasts will be another Harry Potter fan fiction that messes with your view of the original characters, fear not. While the original HP series revolved around one hero and his fight against the all powerful You Know Who, Fantastic Beasts seemed more lighthearted without being childish. And then there are Tina and Queenie, beautiful, talented, charming and kindhearted sisters, stuck in menial positions in the wizarding world and wanting more."
"I did not read this until after I had seen the movie, so I had the visuals playing in my head as I read, down to Newt's awkward lovability and Jacob's wonder."
"Once again Ms. Rowling delivers a fantastical world within our own."
"In whatever form, this world created by JK Rowling will always be amazing."
"Amazing and exciting story!!"
"Imagine an adult "Harry Potter" scenario wirh different characters, set in 1920s New York."
"You know that fresh book sound when you open it the first time. If you saw the movie before getting the book, you'll lovingly remember every beautiful scene."
"The writing is in the spare style of a script, not the lush with details style of the Harry Potter novels."
