While Windows dominates the desktop, Unix is the operating system that dominates most other applications--from spacecraft to supercomputers, from embedded machine controllers to running the World Wide Web. Many profound technical advances in the computer industry (now seen everywhere) originally came from Unix systems--and still do. Linux is a version of Unix that runs on PCs and has become so ......
 

Software has become pervasive in today’s complex systems, and safety-critical systems are no exception. Recent losses such as the Ariane 5 rocket, which result from unexpected software behavior or system interactions, highlight the need for a more rigorous approach to software engineering that focuses on the safety-critical nature of these systems. This course explores the challenges facin......
 

Even experienced Excel users may not have learned how to manage data efficiently and there are few courses to train those who use Excel to do their jobs more effectively. Within Excel, efficient management includes designing the layout of data on the worksheet and knowing which functions to use to take advantage of that layout. When users need data that is maintained elsewhere (e.g., a database......
