THE OTTOMANS explores the rise of the Ottoman Empire, ending at the reign of Suleyman the Magnificent. In spite of the devastating Mongol invasions, Islam endured — and grew. The Ottoman Empire becomes the military powerhouse of its time, an empire of extreme wealth and sophistication, whose strength threatens the great power centers of Europe. [...]
Lecture by Professor Brad Osgood for the Electrical Engineering course, The Fourier Transforms and its Applications (EE 261). Professor Osgood continues lecturing on the general properties of the Fourier Transforms by two paths. First, to develop specific transforms and second, to understand the Fourier transforms with different combinations and functions. The Fourier transform is a [...]
[Recorded: 1996] Part 1 of 2 The Dawn of Electronic Computing 1935 1945 Computer pioneer Gordon Bell hosts this two-part program on the evolution of electronic computing from its pre-World War II origins through the development of the first commercial computers. His narration traces the development of the stored program computer architecture which remains the [...]

The capital of the Czech Republic is one of the best looking cities. Prague is one of Europes best preserved cities, a showcase for one thousand years of architecture.
Lecture by Professor Brad Osgood for the Electrical Engineering course, The Fourier Transforms and its Applications (EE 261). Professor Osgood finishes up on Fourier series, then he talks about the transformation Fourier series compared to the Fourier Transformations and how one gets to the study of periodic phenomena to non periodic phenomena by means of [...]
If you’re new to polygon modeling in CINEMA 4D and have not yet used tools like Weld, Split and Melt, this tutorial will get you up and running with some very useful techniques as you build the shell of a house.
LEED expert Michelle Cottrell shows readers how her new series prepares readers to pass the new LEED exam.
