Mongameli Mabona : His Life and Work
Mongameli Anthony Mabona (1929) is a singular South African scholar with an exceptional life path. Yet, he is a wrongly forgotten figure today.

To address this problem, in 2007 the authors of this book, with backgrounds in secondary teaching or IT, trialled a new and revolutionary program in schools: "Digital Divas." The Digital Divas pro…

The author is writing this book because he thinks the conventional approach to digital signal processing is backward: most books (and the classes that use them) present the m…
